About Melissa
Melissa Groh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 11 years of clinical practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, sleep problems, anger, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings to reduce distress and build steadier routines.
Groh earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Truman State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. Her background includes work with people affected by bereavement, substance concerns, homelessness, and hospice-related grief. She brings that varied experience into short-term and longer-term work depending on a person’s needs.
Her approach centers on talk therapy with concrete tools. She uses solution-focused and task-centered methods to identify small, usable steps. Mindfulness practices and strength-based activities are offered to help manage emotion and increase coping skills.
Sessions aim to set clear goals and track progress with simple tasks between meetings. Melissa adjusts methods as needed so the next session addresses what did or did not help. That makes the work more manageable when life is already busy or stressful.
People who want straightforward, practical help with anger, parenting stress, sleep disruption, or major life shifts may find this approach useful. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details to make sure they fit your routine.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Melissa uses evidence-based approaches that translate well to remote work. Solution-focused methods emphasize identifying one or two small changes to try, which can reduce overwhelming feelings and help with problems like work stress or recurring arguments. Task-centered work breaks goals into specific actions to practice between sessions so progress can be tracked week to week.Mindfulness techniques are offered as short practices to notice physical sensations and reduce reactivity. These can help when anger, anxiety, or sleep troubles make it hard to think clearly. Together the client and Melissa decide which approaches to try first and adjust as they learn what works.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily routine, and what has helped or not helped before. That helps shape sessions so time is spent on practical strategies suited to your needs and preferences.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a break, practices you can do between tasks, or a session that removes travel time. Ask about current session options to see how they would fit into your schedule.
