Petra Gross , LPC

—About

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor practising in Virginia, with 10 years of clinical experience.

—How I Work

My clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

I offer a therapeutic space built on empathy, compassion, and acceptance, and I believe in providing a safe environment where my clients feel heard, valued, and understood.

In our first few sessions, I aim to build a strong therapeutic relationship, clarify your goals, and begin feeling lighter as you take steps toward your growth.

—Who I Help

I work with clients on stress and anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.

I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and family of origin issues, and my particular passion lies in supporting minorities and mothers through all stages of motherhood, helping them find balance, strength, and peace in their unique journeys.
