About Melissa
Melissa Groh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, sleep difficulties, anxiety, and life transitions. She uses a warm, inviting style and focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions. Melissa aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her and to the goals they bring to therapy.
Melissa earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Truman State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. She has 11 years of experience as a mental health therapist and has worked with clients on a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and substance-related issues.
Her approach blends talk therapy with targeted methods such as solution-focused work, task-centered strategies, mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques. Sessions emphasize small, achievable steps and skills that can help with sleep, coping with change, and managing daily stressors.
Melissa describes her style as encouraging and empowering. She tailors interventions to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan, and she checks in about what is and isn’t working as treatment progresses.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Melissa typically starts by clarifying goals and then chooses practical tools to address those aims. Her work centers on helping people build strategies that fit their lives and reduce the day-to-day burdens that interfere with rest and wellbeing.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Melissa draws on evidence-based techniques such as solution-focused work and mindfulness practice. Solution-focused work zeroes in on small, practical steps and clear goals to create change quickly. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can help with sleep, anxiety, and calming nighttime rumination.She also uses task-centered methods that break larger problems into manageable tasks. These methods help clients try small experiments between sessions and track what helps their sleep and daily routine. Together the client and therapist review what worked and adjust the plan as needed; finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions will take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people practice skills in their everyday environment. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for telephone or video discussions where available, and Melissa will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and daily life.
