Carol Gross

Carol Gross brings 25 years of clinical experience and a lifelong interest in psychology, human behavior, and data analysis to her work with people facing emotional and behavioral challenges. She began her professional path as a computer system analyst and later trained as both a clinical social worker and a behavior analyst, a combination that informs her practical, evidence-minded approach to care.

Over more than two decades she has worked with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger management, ADHD, OCD, autism spectrum concerns, grief, hospice-related issues, and other mental and behavioral health concerns. She also supports clients with relationship and family conflicts, bipolar disorder, intimacy and eating concerns, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, self-esteem and career-related struggles, and coping with life changes.

Familiar with pain but committed to growth, she has increasingly drawn on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which she describes as a fairly recent cognitive behavioral approach, and often uses tools such as the ACT Matrix to help clients sort priorities and actions. Her work emphasizes building mindfulness, practical coping behaviors, focus, and psychological flexibility so people can move toward lives more aligned with their values. Carol is a Utah-licensed clinical social worker and a licensed behavior analyst, and she aims to partner with clients to identify what their pain is trying to tell them and to discover strategies that support meaningful change.
