About Catherine

Catherine (Cathy) Groh is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in California who focuses on a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She also addresses life transitions, career-related concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Cathy brings attention to family dynamics and related areas such as attachment, abandonment, blended family challenges, communication problems, infidelity, and divorce or separation.

Her style is warm, interactive, and client-centered, placing the person’s experience at the heart of the work while guiding goal-setting and practical steps forward. She draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused strategies to identify strengths and small, achievable steps.

With ten years of clinical experience and California license CA LCSW 19376, she aims to create respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can explore concerns and build coping skills. Cathy offers sessions in English and provides several online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Practical Benefits



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect so clients can lead the direction of their sessions while the therapist supports understanding and personal insight. This approach is useful for people navigating depression, grief, relationship concerns, or questions of identity. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring and resolving ambivalence about change by highlighting personal values and strengths; it can be helpful for addictions, behavior change, or when someone is unsure about next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying useful resources and setting realistic, short-term goals so clients can build small, achievable changes that add up over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cathy works together with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapts methods to fit what feels most helpful. This means plans can shift as progress is made and as priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit work, family, and other routines. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations within California and to continue care when schedules or life circumstances change.
