About Nicholas
Nicholas "Nick" Cross helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, or life changes. He is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with four years of professional experience. Nick writes clear, direct plans and focuses on small steps people can use right away.
He uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical skills and short-term goals.
Background and approach
Nick adapts his approach to match energy levels, motivation, and what feels doable that week. Nick often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try concrete changes. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck and Solution-Focused Therapy to map small wins and next steps.
Those methods are mixed into a short-term, goal-oriented plan when appropriate. People might come to Nick for help with workplace stress, money and financial worries, blended family strain, or feeling stuck after a life change. He also supports those managing mood issues, ADHD, or concerns common to young adults.
Sessions are practical and aimed at improving day-to-day functioning. Nick believes respect and compassion are the foundation of work together. He encourages clients to take steps at a pace that fits their life.
He helps them build tools, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed.

Online approaches that focus on change and progress
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then tests small changes to see what helps. It is useful for anxiety, mood issues, anger, and day-to-day stress.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It suits moments when motivation is low or when someone feels stuck and unsure what step to take next.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to set clear goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what is helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback and steer the plan so it fits their needs and preferences.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match daily routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted, and live chat or text is useful for quick check-ins, brief planning, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, school schedules, or busy family life.
