About Melissa

Melissa Groh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life changes.

She uses conversational talk therapy alongside focused techniques to help clients meet clear goals.

Background and approach

That can include brief, task-oriented steps, drawing on strengths, and building simple mindfulness habits to reduce overwhelm. Sessions tend to center on what clients want to change and the next small steps that will move them forward.

Melissa trained with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Truman State University and earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. She has 11 years of experience in mental health settings and has supported people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, substance use concerns, housing instability, and related issues.

Her style is approachable and encouraging while staying practical. Melissa tailors the work to each person and checks in about progress and what feels helpful. She aims to make therapy a place to try things out, practice new behaviors, and notice small improvements.

People who want clear direction with compassionate support may find this approach useful. Melissa focuses on helping clients identify priorities, build coping skills, and make steady changes over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Melissa often uses solution-focused techniques that zoom in on clear, actionable goals and the next steps to reach them. This approach helps with problems like stress, anxiety, and career decisions by breaking issues into small tasks clients can try between sessions.

She also uses mindfulness-based ideas to teach simple breathing and attention exercises that reduce reactivity and improve sleep. Learning short practices by phone or text can make them easier to repeat during a busy day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Melissa treats it as a team effort. She talks with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods as progress is tracked over time. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize tasks, mindfulness, strengths, or a mix of techniques.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility around work, childcare, or travel. Video is useful for a full conversation; phone works well when bandwidth is limited; chat and text are good for shorter check-ins or quick skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a real-life schedule while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
