Melissa Groh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina who brings a thoughtful, client-centered approach to therapy. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Truman State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California, and has worked as a mental health therapist for six years. Melissa has supported people across the lifespan with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss in hospice settings, major life transitions, parenting challenges, homelessness, and substance use among other issues.

Her therapeutic presence is warm and inviting while also encouraging clients toward empowerment and practical progress. She works primarily through talk therapy and combines solution-focused and task-centered strategies with mindfulness practices and a strengths-based orientation to help people identify concrete steps forward. Melissa individualizes her plan for each person, matching techniques to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so the work reflects what will help most.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can feel daunting, Melissa aims to make the process approachable and collaborative. She emphasizes small, achievable goals and supports clients as they build skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward the changes they want to make.
