About Tia
Tia Gross is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, anger, life transitions, relationship stress, and women’s issues.
Clients can expect straightforward, practical work. Tia uses cognitive-behavioral strategies alongside solution-focused conversations to identify patterns and try small experiments that change daily routines. She also draws on relational and strength-based ideas to notice what is already working and build from there.
Her background includes work in correctional, outpatient, and community settings. That mix of environments shaped a direct style that values clear goals and manageable steps. Education includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Towson University and a Master of Science in Applied Psychology - Counseling from the University of Baltimore.
Sessions tend to focus on skills you can use right away: managing angry reactions, reducing worry, handling big life changes, or improving how you speak up in relationships. Tia balances practical tools with attention to personal history when it helps reach those goals.
People who come for help with addiction, grief, career questions, ADHD, bipolar concerns, or compassion fatigue will find an approach that prioritizes problem solving and realistic change. The work is collaborative and focused on steady, concrete steps rather than vague promises.
How Tia uses evidence-based techniques online
Two evidence-based techniques she uses are cognitive-behavioral work and solution-focused strategies. Cognitive-behavioral work looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practices specific skills to change reactions, which is useful for anger and anxiety. Solution-focused strategies concentrate on small, achievable changes and on what has worked before, so sessions often identify next steps and test them between meetings.She also uses relational approaches to understand how patterns show up with other people and to build clearer communication skills. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single method up front.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. That practicality helps people practice new skills in real life between sessions and bring back concrete examples for discussion.
