“I specialize in working with teenagers, college students, and the LGBT Community, and I also focus on treating ADHD, Anxiety, BPD, Trauma, and General Life Stressors.”

“Whether you’re a teen frozen by OCD or emetophobia, a parent navigating the neurodiversity and 2e spectrum, or a new mother battling relentless intrusive thoughts, I provide the active, evidence-based tools you need to move forward. I specialize in the "complex" stuff that standard talk therapy often misses. I'm Gabrielle Gross, LCSW, LCSW-C. I don't just sit across from you and ask how you feel. Using ERP, CBT, DBT and a neurodiversity-affirming lens, we build bravery muscles together.”
“I enjoy meeting adults of all ages (18+) who are seeking help navigating the struggles life throws at us. My specialties include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, men’s issues, and PTSD, with my ideal client being anyone looking to face and overcome life’s stressors, depression, anxiety, anger issues, addictions, and/or crisis of faith.”
“People with”
“I work with adults who are struggling with fear of death, existential anxiety, grief, uncertainty, and life’s bigger questions. Many of my clients feel stuck in constant overthinking, dread, panic, emotional overwhelm, or a deep sense of “What’s the point?” that’s hard to explain to others. I often support people navigating major life transitions, loss, spiritually transformative experiences, identity shifts, health anxiety, or periods of deep awakening and change. Some clients feel disconnected from themselves, emotionally exhausted, or unable to fully enjoy life because fear and anxiety are always running quietly in the background. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, sensitive, introspective, and deeply feeling individuals who want more than just coping; they want to feel alive, grounded, connected, and at peace within themselves and their lives.”
“I work with teens (ages 13+) and adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, substance use, ADHD, eating disorders, and life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I strive to meet you where you are. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you. I enjoy helping clients build practical skills while also exploring the deeper patterns, experiences, and values that influence their lives.”
“I'm a geeky/nerdy/anti-authoritarian with 20+ years of clinical social work with newly acquired psych nurse practitioner super powers in NJ, PA, and WA. I really love to support people who have had a hard time: --managing the impact of poor communication or therapeutic ruptures with previous providers, medical trauma, involuntary hospitalization or forced medication experiences --being afraid of judgment for less-healthy coping strategies like self harm or substance use --worrying about being dismissed because of weight or history/current sex work --experiencing existential angst or lack of meaning/purpose Scheduling new patient meet and greets and intakes within 1-2 weeks. Economic justice based fee schedule. Ages 13+. My collaborating physician in NJ/PA is a board certified child/adolescent and adult psychMD, so I'm looking forward to adding services for pre-teens/children in the fall.”
“I work with women going through perimenopause, PMDD and other hormonal issues as well as the usual suspects of anxiety, depression and making big life changes. I also support women who are Childfree by Choice.”
“Adults”
“I work with individuals experiencing concerns related to neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, caregiver stress, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, communication difficulties, and general life dissatisfaction. I also support parents and caregivers in developing practical, compassionate strategies for children who are neurodiverse or need additional support. My approach is collaborative and empowering, with a strong focus on respecting your nervous system, personal history, and inner strengths. I integrate mindfulness and values-based work, trauma processing, emotional regulation skills, and body-based awareness to create a therapy experience tailored to you. Together, we work toward greater understanding, flexibility, and a life that feels more aligned with your values.”

Select the states where you’ll attend sessions, then ask the therapist to confirm they can work with you in each state.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapy approach that helps you relate differently to difficult thoughts, feelings, memories, and body sensations instead of spending all your energy trying to push them away. ACT often focuses on noticing what shows up inside, making room for discomfort, and taking practical steps toward the life you want to live.
In online ACT sessions, your therapist may help you identify stuck patterns, clarify your values, practice mindfulness skills, and choose actions that support what matters to you. People often look for ACT when they are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, chronic pain, perfectionism, life transitions, relationship concerns, or feeling stuck. It may be worth exploring if you want therapy that is practical, reflective, and focused on meaningful change.
When comparing online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) therapists, look for someone whose style feels clear, respectful, and collaborative. ACT can be gentle and reflective, but it can also involve practicing new responses to uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, so pacing matters. You may want to ask how the therapist uses ACT in sessions, what kinds of concerns they commonly work with, and whether they include exercises, mindfulness practices, values work, or between-session reflection.
Not every therapist who uses ACT offers it the same way. Review profiles carefully, compare experience and communication style, and ask practical questions before booking so you can choose someone who feels like a good fit for your needs.
Explore another therapy approach or browse providers by specialty, location, and type of care. If you travel or live in more than one state, review your options for continuing care across locations.
Start by choosing the state where you will be located during therapy sessions. From there, use filters to narrow your options by insurance, age group, language, service type, and therapy type. Review therapist profiles to see who offers Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), what concerns they work with, and whether their style sounds like a good fit. When you find someone who seems aligned with your needs, follow their profile instructions to request an appointment or consultation.
Before booking, ask how the therapist uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online sessions and what a typical appointment might look like. You can also ask whether sessions include mindfulness exercises, values work, practical skills, or between-session practice. It may help to ask about their experience with your main concerns, availability, fees, insurance, cancellation policies, and how they handle fit if you decide after a first session that you want a different approach.
In most cases, your therapist needs to be licensed or otherwise legally allowed to provide care in the state where you are physically located during the session. If you travel, even temporarily, tell your therapist before your appointment so they can confirm whether they can continue care while you are away. Some providers can work across more than one state.

Yes, many parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can work well through telehealth. Online ACT sessions may include conversation, mindfulness practice, values clarification, noticing thought patterns, and planning small actions between sessions. A private space, reliable internet connection, and a device that allows you to hear and see your therapist clearly can make sessions easier. Ask the therapist how they adapt ACT for online care and what you should expect during virtual appointments.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be a good fit if you feel caught in cycles of overthinking, avoidance, self-criticism, stress, anxiety, low mood, or feeling disconnected from what matters to you. It can also appeal to people who want therapy that combines self-awareness with practical action. ACT is not about forcing positive thinking. It is often used to help people make room for difficult experiences while moving toward more meaningful choices.
There is not one single requirement that every therapist must meet to say they use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Licensed therapists may learn ACT through graduate training, continuing education, consultation, workshops, supervision, or clinical experience. Because backgrounds vary, it is reasonable to ask how a therapist learned ACT and how often they use it in their work. Focus on whether they can clearly explain their approach and whether it feels appropriate for your goals.
Insurance coverage usually depends on your plan, the therapist’s network status, your location, and the type of service provided. ACT itself is a therapy approach, while billing is usually based on the clinical service, such as an individual therapy session. Some therapists accept insurance, some provide superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and others are private pay. Check the therapist’s profile and confirm fees, benefits, copays, and payment options before your first appointment.
Online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. Some people may need in-person care, intensive outpatient support, or emergency services instead. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.
Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
