Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy that emphasizes emotional safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s values and relationships. I work with adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship stress among other issues.
I take an integrative, evidence-based approach that incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and nervous system–informed therapy, attachment-focused work, and emotion-focused interventions. While my work is rooted in clinical research, I also recognize that not all healing can be fully explained by science alone. I remain open to the many ways the mind, body, and inner world interact, honoring intuition, meaning-making, and embodied experience as part of the therapeutic process.
I provide affirming, nonjudgmental care for clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent adults. Many clients seek my practice for support around relationship dynamics, intimacy concerns, and navigating relationships that may not follow traditional models. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without needing to educate their therapist.
My goal is to help clients develop greater emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a more secure connection with themselves and others.
5 Years Experience
Online in Worcester, MA Massachusetts (Online Only)
Worcester is one of New England's most diverse cities and home to a cluster of colleges and universities — including Clark University, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and UMass Chan Medical School — that together generate significant student mental health demand and a well-developed clinical training ecosystem. The city's large Latino, Vietnamese, and African American populations create consistent demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists, and Worcester has been an important destination for refugee resettlement from Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America. UMass Memorial Medical Center provides major institutional mental health resources, while the city's university ecosystem supplies important clinical training. Worcester's working-class character and lower cost of living relative to Boston make private therapy more financially accessible, though therapist density remains lower than in the Boston metro.
