Carol Gross, LCSW

Carol Gross is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Utah with 25 years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addiction, grief, trauma and anger among other struggles. Carol also helps people managing ADHD, relationship problems, sleep and eating concerns, and career or parenting stress.

Carol began her professional life as a computer system analyst and later added clinical work to her background. That mix of data-minded problem solving and clinical experience shapes how she works in session. She describes learning from her own difficult moments and uses those lessons when she talks with people about change and coping.

Her preferred approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, client-centered conversation, and mindfulness practices. She uses practical exercises and the ACT Matrix to help people notice patterns, sort priorities, and practice behaviors that reflect their values. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps rather than abstract promises.

Carol emphasizes noticing discomfort so it becomes useful information. She helps people name what a painful feeling is trying to tell them and then practices skills to respond differently. That can mean building tolerance for strong feelings, shifting unhelpful thinking, improving communication, or learning simple mindfulness and coping skills.

People looking to address anger, longstanding mood problems, or life transitions can expect straightforward discussion and hands-on practice. To begin, prospective clients are invited to use the site's matching flow to select therapy options and schedule a first session.
