About Tia
Tia Gross is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland with 16 years of experience working with adults. She supports people dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, life transitions, relationship concerns, and issues tied to family and parenting. She also works with clients facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, bipolar-related challenges, career stress, intimacy-related concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Tia approaches counseling as a collaborative process. She uses practical, evidence-informed techniques and keeps sessions focused on concrete steps. Conversations often include identifying strengths, testing small changes, and building clearer ways to cope with daily stressors.
Her background includes work in correctional, outpatient, and community settings. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Towson University and a Master of Science in Applied Psychology - Counseling from the University of Baltimore. That mix of settings informs how she supports people in different life situations.
In sessions she draws on cognitive-behavioral tools and solution-focused strategies to structure work and set short-term goals. She also uses relational and strength-based approaches to make practical sense of relationship patterns and personal resources. The focus is on tools people can use between sessions.
Tia aims to work at a steady, clear pace so people can try new responses and notice what helps. She encourages direct conversation about what’s working and what needs to change. This keeps therapy focused on everyday life at home and at work.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Many of her methods come from cognitive-behavioral work, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and practicing alternative responses. CBT methods are often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems and tend to include specific exercises and homework.She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on small, doable changes and clear short-term goals. These approaches help when someone needs practical steps to handle parenting stress, relationship friction, or the next life transition.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before choosing methods. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made collaboratively and adjusted over time to fit the client’s needs.
