About Melissa

Melissa Groh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, and a wide range of life challenges. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and a warm, empowering style that emphasizes individualized care.

Background and approach

Melissa blends talk therapy with practical techniques to help clients develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and navigate relationship, family, and career concerns. Her training includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master of Social Work, and she has supported clients facing grief, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and substance-related problems.

Melissa favors an adaptable approach, drawing on solution-focused, task-centered, mindfulness, and strengths-based methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She encourages collaborative goal-setting and aims to make therapy feel approachable even when the work feels difficult.

Melissa frames therapy as a partnership that centers the client’s preferences and goals, and she offers multiple session formats to fit different lifestyles. Prospective clients are invited to take the first step and explore whether her style and experience match the support they’re seeking.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Melissa uses several evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to online work. Solution-focused approaches concentrate on identifying practical steps and small, achievable goals to address stress, anxiety, and daily life challenges. Mindfulness-based strategies teach present-moment awareness and breathing or grounding practices that help reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation. Strengths-based work emphasizes a client’s existing resources and builds on those skills to support coping with grief, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Melissa partners with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit for each person. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning and adjusting treatment rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use brief check-ins or messaging when regular sessions are not possible.
