About Carol
Carol Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, trauma, anger, ADHD, grief, and related concerns. Carol draws on both social work and behavioral perspectives in her practice.
She began her career in systems analysis and moved into mental health over two decades ago. That background guides her practical approach to problems and patterns people live with. She describes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a central influence and often uses the ACT Matrix as a tool during sessions.
In sessions she helps people notice discomfort and learn small, concrete skills to cope. Carol uses mindfulness exercises, behavior-focused strategies, and cognitive methods to increase flexibility in daily life. She explains concepts plainly and works step by step so changes are manageable.
She also addresses relational and life-stage concerns such as caregiving stress, aging issues, blended family dynamics, and communication problems. Other areas include sleep and eating difficulties, body image, chronic pain and co-morbid conditions. Carol integrates motivational techniques when people are unsure about change.
Her approach is practical and task oriented. She helps people identify values, learn coping skills, and practice new behaviors between sessions. Prospective clients in Utah should confirm current session format options before booking.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing personal values and increasing psychological flexibility. It uses exercises and the ACT Matrix to help people choose actions that fit what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy builds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carol will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. The plan is collaborative - adjustments are made based on what helps in everyday life.
The practical benefits of online care include fitting sessions into a busy routine and removing travel time so brief check-ins are easier to schedule. This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can still include skills practice, tracking exercises between sessions, and use of worksheets or the ACT Matrix so therapy integrates into daily life.
