Tia Gross

Tia Gross is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and changes in life. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She brings direct, practical work to sessions. Tia aims to build a warm working connection and to help people notice what already works for them. She uses clear tools and short-term strategies alongside longer conversations about patterns and goals.

Her background includes roles in correctional, outpatient, and community settings. Tia completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Towson University and a Master of Science in Applied Psychology - Counseling from the University of Baltimore. Those years of varied experience inform how she tailors support to each person.

In practice she mixes relational and strength-based work with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. That blend means some sessions focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while others build on skills and small experiments to see what changes in daily life.

Tia describes her style as collaborative and flexible. She helps people set concrete goals, try manageable steps between sessions, and adjust the plan as needs shift. Her aim is to help people move toward more meaningful and manageable days.

How evidence-based methods shape online therapy

Many of Tia's core approaches focus on practical changes and building strengths. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people identify and shift thought patterns and behaviors that worsen anxiety, depression, anger, or low self-esteem. Solution-focused work emphasizes small, doable steps and experiments to make daily life feel more manageable and to track what helps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can use these options to keep care practical and consistent with a client's life.
