Justen Gross, LCSW

Justen Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 20 years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem, career problems, depression, stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away to manage difficult feelings and relationships.

Justen works from the idea that each person knows their story best. He listens for strengths and past successes to build on. In sessions he helps clients name patterns, try small experiments, and practice different ways of responding when anger or frustration arise.

His background spans two decades of clinical work in settings where people faced trauma, caregiver stress, and complicated family dynamics. That experience informs a straightforward approach to common problems like communication breakdowns, commitment worries, and impulsivity.

Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and action focused. Justen uses techniques that help people notice triggers, lower reactivity, and rebuild trust with others. He also works on related concerns such as guilt, shame, abandonment, and intimacy-related issues.

People who meet with him can expect clear, practical options to try between sessions. He encourages steady progress through repeated practice and reflection. For those wanting help with parenting stress, fatherhood issues, or compassion fatigue, he brings years of experience to those conversations.
