About Catherine
Catherine (Cathy) Groh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She supports concerns around relationships, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy, eating and sleeping, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and career strain. Cathy also addresses family-related difficulties such as blended family issues, family of origin problems, communication struggles, and separation or divorce worries.
With ten years as a practicing LCSW, Cathy brings steady, practical care to sessions.
How Catherine works
She uses a client-centered style that puts the person's goals first. That means she follows what matters to the client and shapes sessions around their needs. Cathy also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change.
Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolbox when clients want clear, short-term steps to move forward. These approaches fit well for people wanting everyday tools and small, manageable goals. Sessions are conversational and direct.
Cathy listens, reflects, and helps clients notice strengths and next steps. She aims for simple language and real strategies that fit daily life, not clinical jargon. Cathy works from California and conducts therapy in English.
She offers several remote formats so people can pick what works for their schedule and needs. The process starts with a matching questionnaire and scheduling based on available times.

Approaches that fit your schedule and goals
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what matters to the person and helps shape sessions around their goals, which works well for stress, grief, and relationship concerns.Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change. It uses open questions and gentle guidance to build motivation for things like substance use changes, career shifts, or health habits.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical next steps and small goals. It is useful when someone wants targeted changes and clear actions to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit best, based on needs, goals, and preferences. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone calls need less bandwidth, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and adapt the format as needs change.
