Catherine (Cathy) Groh, LCSW

Catherine (Cathy) Groh is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship wounds, and jealousy. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to feel steadier. Cathy writes plainly and listens closely so concerns can be named and addressed without judgment.

She uses a client-centered way of working that lets the person set the pace and goals. Cathy often brings motivational interviewing to conversations about change and decisions. She also uses solution-focused techniques to help people try small, concrete steps between sessions.

Cathy has ten years of practice as an LCSW in California. That background includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, addictions, family problems, and many everyday struggles like sleep, eating, and work stress. She helps with issues tied to attachment, abandonment feelings, infidelity, and commitment worries.

Sessions tend to be warm and interactive. A typical visit involves talking through what matters now, identifying small goals, and planning doable next steps. Cathy encourages straightforward tools and habits that fit into a person’s life rather than long lists of theory.

People who want a collaborative partner for change will find an approach focused on respect and steady progress. To start, readers should confirm current session options and use the platform’s intake flow to match with her and schedule an appointment.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Cathy commonly uses client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Client-centered therapy means the conversation is led by the person seeking help; the therapist reflects, listens, and helps clarify what matters most. Motivational interviewing focuses on helping someone resolve mixed feelings about change by exploring values and personal goals. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and experiments to try between sessions to build momentum.

Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. Cathy treats that as a collaborative process: she and the client talk about goals, try an approach, and adjust as needed based on what helps most. This keeps sessions tailored to the client’s needs and preferences rather than following a rigid plan.

Confirm the current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins between obligations, or making it simpler to join from a quieter room. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep momentum between appointments and support steady change without requiring major schedule shifts.
