Melissa Groh, LCSW

Approaches that fit online parenting and life work

Melissa often uses solution-focused techniques that help you set clear, short-term goals and try specific changes between sessions. This approach is useful when you want practical steps for parenting routines, sleep, or stress management.

She also draws on task-centered methods which break larger problems into manageable tasks. That method helps with immediate problems like managing anger, juggling job demands, or addressing ADHD-related challenges by creating small, doable actions.

Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to build awareness of emotions and daily habits. These simple exercises can support anxiety, sleep struggles, and compassion fatigue by teaching steady, repeatable ways to pause and respond differently.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match goals, needs, and comfort with homework or practice tasks. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels realistic for your schedule and situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility that suits busy parents and people with unpredictable days. Video calls let you work face to face for deeper conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can be quick for check-ins, and text-based messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, school schedules, or times when being on camera is difficult.
