About Nicholas
LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) in Minnesota with four years of clinical experience. Nicholas "Nick" Cross helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. He also focuses on issues that touch family relationships, blended families, money and workplace stress, and challenges young adults face.
Nick uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns, set clear goals, and try practical changes between meetings. Conversations are meant to be direct and focused on what a person wants to change right now.
He aims to build short-term plans and steps that people can apply in daily life. Sessions often include working on thoughts and behaviors, clarifying motivation, and practicing small experiments to test new ways of coping. Progress is measured by concrete changes people notice in their routines and moods.
Nick frames therapy as a cooperative process. He helps people weigh options and pick approaches that fit their goals and circumstances. Over time the plan is adjusted based on what works and what doesn’t.
People who choose him should expect clear discussion about goals, practical homework between sessions, and regular check-ins on progress. To start, the site’s matching steps guide people to schedule an initial appointment and begin planning next steps.

How his approaches translate to online care
Nick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on identifying troublesome thinking patterns, planning small behavioral experiments, and practicing skills between meetings to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person’s reasons for change. That approach uses focused conversation to clarify values and boost motivation when someone feels stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, short-term goals and to build on whatever is already working in a person’s life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He talks with each person about goals and preferences, then jointly decides which methods to prioritize. The plan is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use online work to assign between-session practice, review homework, and keep regular progress checks while adapting pacing to daily life.
