Lexi Gross

Lexi Gross is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and offers telehealth therapy in North Carolina. She specializes in working with individuals with chronic illness and individuals who may be supporting a loved one with chronic illness. Her work includes those who may not have a formal diagnosis, but experience chronic health challenges and/or environmental sensitivities (mold illness, Lyme, CIRS, CFS, MCS). She also works well with individuals experiencing high levels of overwhelm that may show up as restlessness, anxiety, depression, fatigue, feelings of disconnection and/or burnout.

Lexi has experience working with adolescents, young adults, adults and parents. She has experience working in a college counseling setting, wilderness settings, as well as in community mental health. Lexi’s approach is Person Centered and includes Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Somatic Experiencing (SE) through a trauma informed lens. She is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in training and is completing her advanced year. SE is a nervous system and body-oriented approach to healing trauma and dysregulation within the body. This approach allows clients to get to know their nervous system function and how it may be impacting their movement towards what’s important to them and their relationships with self and others. In session, Lexi is engaged, compassion, and transparent.

Working with Lexi will combine elements of talk therapy along with developing skills and curiosity for connection back to her client’s surroundings and body. She supports all of her clients in developing a new relationship with their body, one that does not only include pain, tension, anxiety, or a symptom, but also includes okayness and maybe even pleasantness. Lexi helps her clients develop a better understanding of how their body communicates its needs, develop a greater capacity for navigating life stressors, and regain a sense of identity outside of illness or productivity.
