About Catherine
Catherine (Cathy) Groh is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She supports those dealing with relationship stress, struggles with self-esteem, addiction concerns, and family conflict. Cathy aims to make therapy a straightforward and respectful space for people to talk through what matters most to them.
She uses a warm, interactive style that lets clients take the lead. Cathy listens closely and reflects what she hears so people can see patterns and options more clearly. Her work focuses on practical steps and small changes that can reduce distress and build momentum.
With ten years of experience as an LCSW in California, she draws on client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. That mix helps when people are unsure about goals, trying to change habits, or need concrete tools to manage symptoms. Cathy adapts these methods to each person’s situation.
Sessions tend to focus on what is most pressing now - improving sleep and eating patterns, coping with anger, addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, or navigating separation and blended family stresses. She also supports people coping with trauma, domestic violence history, and intimacy-related issues.
Cathy emphasizes collaboration; she helps clients set realistic goals and checks progress along the way. To begin, she asks a few questions to match needs to goals and then schedules sessions that fit the person’s routine. Her approach is straightforward and geared toward steady, achievable change.
