About Stephen
Stephen Groce is an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana with 10 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and other common struggles such as anger, grief, self-esteem, and ADHD.
He earned a BA in Psychology from Earlham College and a MS in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. His clinical background includes work in residential treatment settings, acute psychiatric hospitals, and community-based wraparound teams. Those roles shaped a practical approach to daily problems.
Stephen uses straightforward conversation and concrete tools. He helps people notice patterns that keep problems going, then practices different ways of responding. Sessions focus on skills people can try between appointments and on clear steps for meeting goals.
He describes himself as open-minded, honest, and down to earth, and draws on faith while respecting many perspectives. He also has experience as a racial equity trainer and mental health advocate, which informs how he listens and talks about identity and experience.
His work pulls from several therapies, including cognitive-behavioral methods, client-centered approaches, emotionally-focused ideas, existential questions, and motivational interviewing. That lets him shift tactics until a practical approach fits the person’s needs.
People who prefer a direct, skills-focused style often find this approach useful. He encourages identifying what already helps, then building small, testable changes toward the goals the client sets.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and everyday reactions.Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting. It helps people clarify their priorities and feel understood while deciding what to change.
Emotionally-focused ideas look at how emotions shape interactions and personal meaning. These techniques can help with relationship patterns, grief, and attachment concerns.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. He will talk with the client about problems, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process may lead to using CBT tools for skills practice, reflective client-centered work, or emotion-focused exercises as needed.
The original biography did not specify which online session formats are offered. Before booking, confirm the available formats and scheduling options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, not needing travel time, or choosing a session style that suits bandwidth or camera preferences. Licensed professionals often adapt session pacing and homework to match a client's daily routine.
