About Jennifer
Jennifer Groom-Reid is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people through difficult life moments. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, and relationship concerns. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at making therapy feel clear and manageable for someone under strain.
Jennifer works with people facing big transitions like divorce, loss, and midlife changes. She also addresses patterns such as codependency, abandonment worries, and control issues. She offers support for practical problems too, including money concerns, career shifts, and caregiving stress.
Her approach centers on listening first and building a plan together. Jennifer draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help people name what matters and take steps toward it. Sessions also include client-centered and dialectical skill ideas when helpful.
She brings attention to cultural background and to how illness, chronic pain, or end-of-life concerns shape someone’s choices. Jennifer helps people with mood challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with trauma and abuse in ways that respect each person’s history and identity.
If someone is struggling with intimacy, parenting strain, sleep problems, or feelings of emptiness, she helps break those issues into small, workable steps. The overall aim is less overwhelm and more practical movement toward what matters to the client.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps toward what matters, even when emotions are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, codependency patterns, and making life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of acting. It often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood regulation.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional awareness. These practices support coping with stress, chronic pain, and relationship reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions are shaped by what the client needs, and adjustments are made over time as progress and priorities change.
The biography does not specify particular online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder to arrange. Different formats also let people choose quieter or shorter session styles when appropriate, and therapists can adapt techniques like CBT exercises or mindfulness practices to work over distance.
