About Melissa
Melissa Groh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and related challenges.
She uses practical, talk-based work to help people manage stressful feelings and move through difficult life changes. Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Truman State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. Melissa has worked in settings that exposed her to grief care, homelessness, substance use concerns, and hospice-related loss.
Her approach blends solution-focused and task-centered methods with mindfulness and strengths-based ideas. Sessions typically involve identifying small, actionable steps and practicing new responses to stress and anger. She aims to help clients notice patterns, build coping skills, and test different ways of handling frustrating or heated moments.
Melissa frames therapy as collaborative problem solving. She listens to what matters most and adjusts strategies so they fit the client’s life and goals. That can mean short skill-focused work or longer discussion about relationships, identity, and career direction.
Practical outcomes she emphasizes include clearer communication, better regulation of intense feelings, improved sleep habits, and strategies for parenting stress. People who want concrete tools for managing anger and daily pressures may find her style straightforward and task oriented.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Melissa draws on solution-focused work, which concentrates on small, concrete changes clients can try right away. That approach helps when anger or stress feels immediate and you want practical next steps to test between sessions.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice bodily tension and slowing patterns of reactivity. Mindfulness practice in sessions can support calming responses and improve sleep and focus over time.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest a mix of methods to try. You and the therapist can adjust the plan as you learn what helps most for anger, grief, or day-to-day stress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Different formats also allow for options such as less time on camera or shorter focused sessions to practice a new skill between longer meetings.
