Michelle Gross

Michelle Gross is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with twenty years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, ADHD, grief, depression, and life changes. She holds a Master’s in Counseling and an MBA from Wake Forest University. Michelle explains things plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She draws on work in schools, universities, corporations, and private practice to shape each plan. Sessions emphasize self-awareness, honest conversation, and small, concrete changes that add up. Michelle aims to turn insight into everyday action rather than leaving ideas on a notepad.

Michelle has a particular interest in ADHD and helps adolescents, college students, and adults develop coping strategies. She also supports people who are parenting, changing careers, recovering from addiction, or managing mood and impulse challenges. Her background in coaching helps when clients want more focus on task management, delegation, and leadership skills.

Because she has worked in business and clinical settings, Michelle blends practical organization strategies with counseling tools. Clients familiar with workplace or academic demands often find this combination useful. She uses approaches that match a person’s needs instead of one fixed method.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then suggests steps that fit a client’s daily life. People who prefer clear goals and real-world tools typically find her approach helpful.

Approaches you may use in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel understood and can explore what matters most to them. It helps people gain clarity and confidence to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness when emotions run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. That process helps match methods like CBT or DBT to what a person actually wants to accomplish.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time and make short check-ins or regular weekly sessions simpler to keep. The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm available formats before booking to be sure they match your needs.
