About Stephen
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 10 years of experience, Stephen Groce focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, family issues, and related concerns. He practices using client-centered methods alongside cognitive-behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing. He works with adults on parenting, relationships, career challenges, mood concerns, and life transitions.
Stephen trained with a BA in Psychology and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling. He has worked in residential treatment, acute psychiatric hospitals, and community-based wraparound teams. That background informs practical, down-to-earth sessions that aim for clear steps and real-world problem solving.
Sessions emphasize respect and straightforward conversation. Stephen draws on client-centered therapy to focus on the person in front of him, and on cognitive-behavioral techniques to address thoughts and routines that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing is used to help people find internal reasons to change.
He also brings experience with attachment and adoption-related concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and parenting challenges. He works with people coping with grief, anger, mood instability, ADHD-related struggles, and career or identity questions. Stephen notes faith as a personal grounding point while respecting different perspectives.
Practical goals and short-term strategies are common in his work. Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, and checking what did or did not work. He asks clients to help shape the plan so therapy stays focused on their goals.
Stephen offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches are used in online sessions
Stephen often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the client's perspective and emphasizes listening, reflection, and collaboration to identify what matters most. This approach helps people clarify goals and choose steps that feel right for them.He also uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts and routines affect mood and behavior. CBT techniques in sessions may include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Motivational interviewing appears when someone is weighing change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help people find their own reasons to act, which can be useful for parenting shifts, habit change, or career moves.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Stephen will work with each person to agree on methods that match their goals, values, and practical needs. He checks progress and adjusts the plan as sessions proceed.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, or a session that avoids travel time. They can also allow for flexible scheduling to reduce missed appointments.
