About Melissa
Melissa Groh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, ADHD, and career strain. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.
Melissa earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Truman State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. Her background includes hospice-related grief work and support for people experiencing life changes and substance-related challenges. She has worked with a broad range of adult clients over her career.
Her approach centers on talk therapy combined with techniques drawn from solution-focused work, task-centered methods, mindfulness, and strengths-based ideas. That looks like setting short goals, practicing coping skills in session, and trying small experiments between appointments. The tone is direct and collaborative rather than overly clinical.
In practical terms she helps adults break down big problems into smaller, manageable steps. Parents can expect discussion of parenting challenges and strategies to reduce day-to-day strain. People dealing with trauma or grief receive steady, paced support aimed at improving daily functioning.
If you want to begin, you complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Melissa works in English and does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
How Melissa uses evidence-based methods online
Melissa draws on short-term, problem-focused methods such as solution-focused techniques. These emphasize clear, achievable goals and practical steps you can test between sessions, which can help with parenting stress, anxiety, or everyday overwhelm.She also uses mindfulness-based practices to help with symptoms like racing thoughts, sleep difficulties, or emotional reactivity. Mindfulness work typically involves short breathing and attention exercises that can be practiced during daily routines.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will help you identify which techniques fit your goals and preferences and adjust them as you go. That may mean prioritizing skills practice one week and goal-setting the next.
