More about Stephen

- LMHC
My name is Stephen Groce, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana. I received my BA in Psychology from Earlham College after participating and lettering in both football and track. I completed my graduate studies at Walden University, receiving a MS in Mental Health Counseling. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health and social service arena. I’ve worked in several different clinical settings such as residential treatment facilities and acute psychiatric hospitals as well as being a member of wraparound care teams in community-based and home-based settings. I am a very flexible, caring, funny, open-minded, honest, and down to earth person.
As a certified racial equity trainer and mental health advocate, I am high on respect; respect for my clients, myself, the counseling process, for who you are and who you want to be. I am grounded in my faith in God, but I understand there are so many different perspectives, based on our own experiences and upbringing, that I have learned to be a student of life and understand that there are many ways to accomplish a goal. My goal as a counselor is to help you identify and understand what works for you and help create strategies that helps you meet your goal(s).
My counseling style combines several theoretical approaches including but not limited to (trauma focused) cognitive-behavioral, reality, solution focused, and client-centered therapy as well as motivational interviewing. I tailor my approach to what works for my client based on what they need and what will help them meet their goals as quickly and effectively as possible. I am authentically me and I hope to help you become the best version of yourself.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr Groce is an authentic therapist . He listens to my concerns after I give him some context to an issue. Dr Groce provides helpful insight to my issue or conflict .
Stephen has helped me through a very confusing time in my life. He is a great listener and helps me to feel confident and understood.
I enjoy my sessions with Stephen, I feel like he understands me. He gives great advice and suggestions.
I felt comfortable working with Stephen from the first session. He is a good listener and is great at asking questions that get to the core of your anxiety. He is very helpful with finding proactive ways to get better. His suggestions are thoughtful and feel managble, so I can see that I'm actually improving. It's easy to write to him too, and you always get thoughtful, timely responses. Stephen has such a positive attitude as well, I always feel great after talking to him. 10/10 would highly recommend.
Stephen is a great active listener and proactively asks questions to get to the core of the problem. He never leaves on a cliff hanger but always puts things back together as best as we can! 10/10 would recommend Stephen!
Stephen’s emotional intelligence is incredible. He got me and my needs within a couple sessions. He supports me in between sessions and provides a variety of resources. I am so grateful that BetterHelp was recommended to me by a friend; I can share my positive experience enough!
Great ideas. Really comfortable speaking to him. Would recommended him to anyone!!!
Kind, caring, funny, and insightful with a sensitivity to cut through all of the noise is how I would describe Stephen.
After experiencing some traumatic events in my personal life, I chose an African-American therapist on purpose because, to me, they are the strongest people in the world. :) And I needed to talk to the strongest: the ones who really know how life can hurt and beat you down. I have the privilege of having Dr Stephen Groce taking care of my case. He immediately captured how my brain works, how my family's dynamic work, and supported me fully with empathy and the best possible advice. I couldn't have met anyone better. Thank you so much, Stephen!
Stephen Grace is a very genuine. He very understanding and has great suggestions and I’m great ful I get a chance to work with him he’s a great persons taa sad bad great therapist.
