About Catherine
Catherine (Cathy) Groh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, addictions, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also works with concerns like sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Cathy uses straightforward, client-centered conversations. She listens and follows what the person wants to focus on. Sessions tend to look like practical problem-solving, with attention to small, usable steps that can fit into daily life.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she spends time understanding a person's goals, helps strengthen motivation for change, and works toward concrete solutions rather than only talking about problems.
Cathy has experience addressing family-of-origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, communication problems, infidelity, and domestic violence histories. She also helps with body image, codependency, commitment worries, and related interpersonal difficulties.
In sessions she breaks issues into manageable pieces. She helps clarify priorities and sets small, realistic steps to test what works. People can expect direct conversation about patterns, practical strategies, and periodic review of progress to see what to adjust next.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. In practice this means sessions start with what matters most to the person and steer the conversation from there to clarify goals and next steps.Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh their options and build their own reasons to change. It is useful for addictions, ambivalence about life changes, and when someone wants to move toward new behaviors but feels stuck.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on specific, achievable changes. Sessions often identify small experiments or steps to try between meetings and check what worked at the next appointment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use, based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That process can shift over time as priorities change.
Because the therapist's session formats are not specified here, confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone use sessions during a break at work or when scheduling around family responsibilities.
