About Carol

Carol Gross, LCSW, brings 25 years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, trauma, and related struggles. Carol writes plainly and listens closely to help people figure out what matters most to them and how to move toward it.

Carol started her career as a computer system analyst before moving into social work and behavior analysis. That mix of data-minded thinking and human-focused care shapes how she works. She leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and related behavioral approaches to help people notice what they do when they are stressed and to build new, more helpful habits.

Sessions emphasize practical skills such as mindfulness, value clarification, and activity changes. Carol uses tools like the ACT Matrix to make problems easier to sort out and to turn hard feelings into workable steps. She describes growth as a process that often includes pain, and she helps people put that pain to work so it leads to clearer choices.

People come to Carol for many concerns including grief, anger, relationship troubles, sleeping and eating problems, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Her background includes long-term work with mood and behavioral issues and she draws on several evidence-based methods to tailor the work to each person.

Carol practices in Utah and offers services in English. She encourages prospective clients to consider their goals and to begin by completing the site questionnaire to find a good match and schedule an initial session.

How Carol’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match personal values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for mood, worry, and sleep or eating concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches focused awareness and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm, which supports coping with stress and trauma.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten some check-ins when needed, and use simple exercises between sessions. Many clients find online sessions help maintain continuity of care, practice skills in real life between meetings, and keep momentum while managing work, caregiving, or travel.
