About Jennifer
Jennifer Groom-Reid is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She offers straightforward support for common struggles like grief, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
That includes coping ideas for sleeping problems, anger, work stress, and parenting strain. She also helps people who feel stuck by exploring patterns such as codependency, abandonment fears, or control issues.
Background and approach
Her work emphasizes listening without judgment and honoring each person's background and identity. Clients can expect a warm, culturally responsive approach that centers their values and goals. Conversations are direct and aimed at making daily life more manageable.
Jennifer draws on several problem-focused methods to help people change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She uses tools that teach emotional regulation, increase awareness, and support committed action toward meaningful goals. She also addresses complex situations like chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, infidelity, and midlife transitions.
Sessions can explore practical matters such as money stress, career pivots, and caregiving strain while attending to the emotional impact. People who want collaborative, nonjudgmental help for anxiety and related issues may find her approach appealing. She supports clients in finding clearer priorities, steadier routines, and better ways to cope when life feels overwhelming.
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stuckness, and making choices during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and routines and replaces them with practical strategies to change mood and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That means trying exercises, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan so it feels useful rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people talk face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth, and messaging options allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
