About Melissa
Melissa Groh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She greets parents and caregivers with a warm, down-to-earth style and focuses on practical steps that can help family life feel more manageable. Her approach aims to make therapy feel approachable for people who are tired, worried, or unsure where to start.
Melissa uses talk therapy and draws on brief, problem-solving methods alongside mindfulness and strengths-based ideas.
Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be collaborative and goal-oriented, so parents can try small changes between meetings. She keeps language simple and focuses on clear techniques that can be tried at home. Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Truman State University and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California.
Over more than a decade she has worked in different settings and has experience with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Therapy with Melissa often centers on finding realistic steps for daily life. She emphasizes empowerment and tailors the work to each person.
That can mean practicing mindfulness skills, setting short tasks, or building on existing strengths to handle stress and relationships. Sessions accommodate different formats to fit busy family schedules. The aim is straightforward: help parents reduce overwhelm, improve routines, and find clearer ways to face parenting and family concerns.
Practical approaches adapted for online family life
Melissa often uses solution-focused methods that zero in on concrete goals and small steps. This approach helps people break big family or parenting problems into short, doable tasks to try between sessions. It is useful for managing stress, parenting routines, and problem behaviors.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help calm the body and attention. These are short exercises and breathing techniques that can reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and emotional regulation for parents and children. Mindfulness can be practiced in a few minutes at home and then discussed in session.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will look at needs, goals, and what feels doable, then try methods that match those preferences. Adjustments happen over time based on how well strategies fit the family’s life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, handle short check-ins, and practice strategies between meetings. The variety of formats helps caregivers find a rhythm that works for their household and commitments.
