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, depression, addictions, grief, and those coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, career shifts, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She brings practical, straightforward care to each session. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on concrete steps a person can take between sessions. Tia aims to build a warm, supportive working relationship and to help people draw on their own strengths.

Tia trained in psychology at Towson University and earned a Master of Science in Applied Psychology - Counseling from the University of Baltimore. Her work history includes correctional, outpatient, and community settings, which shaped her approach to real-world problems.

Her style blends relational and collaborative work with strength-based, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused methods. That mix lets her tailor sessions to a person's goals and practical needs rather than use a single formula.

Sessions tend to center on clear, achievable goals. People who meet with her commonly set small tasks, try new ways of coping, and check progress week to week. The focus is on building skills, reducing overwhelm, and creating more satisfying day-to-day routines.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online care

Many of the methods Tia uses focus on clear skills and short-term goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce distress. These techniques are practical for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Solution-focused work concentrates on a person’s goals and small steps forward. It helps when someone wants to make a specific change, manage a life transition, or reduce overwhelm by testing small experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Tia works with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is tracked over time.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. The platform and exact formats available can vary, so checking ensures the best fit. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, makes follow-up easier, and supports steady, ongoing progress without long commutes.
