About Melissa

Melissa Groh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. She presents a calm, approachable style and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Melissa emphasizes clear goals and teaches skills that fit daily life.

Melissa earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Social Work. She has practiced as a mental health therapist for 11 years and works from a mix of talk therapy methods.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on solution-focused techniques, task-centered work, mindfulness practices, and strength-based perspectives to meet each person where they are. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal oriented. She helps people break problems into manageable tasks and build routines that reduce stress.

When trauma, grief, or relationship strain are present she uses steady pacing and practical coping skills to support recovery. Parents who are overwhelmed by parenting challenges or sleep disruption will find concrete strategies to try at home. People facing career stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, or ADHD-related struggles are offered tools to improve focus and energy management.

Melissa tailors each plan to the person in front of her rather than following one fixed method. She encourages small, testable changes and adjusts the work as progress is made. This flexible stance helps people move forward at a realistic pace.

How Melissa Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Melissa uses practical, evidence-based approaches that translate well to online work. One common approach is solution-focused work, which zeroes in on small, concrete changes a person can try between sessions to reduce stress or improve routines. This method is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and everyday coping tasks.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice stress responses and build simple habits that ease tension. Mindfulness exercises can be short and concrete, making them easy to practice after a video call or via text reminders. When trauma or grief is part of the picture, Melissa uses steady, paced conversation and task-oriented supports to help a person regain routine and control.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Melissa discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques based on what helps most. She encourages experimentation with short tasks and reviews what worked to refine the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need lower bandwidth, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
