About Jennifer
Jennifer Reed-Grimmett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 24 years of experience. She speaks plainly and listens first. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, or big life changes.
Jennifer aims to give practical tools that make a difference day to day. She uses simple, direct conversation to understand what matters to each person. Early sessions often focus on what's most urgent and on calming strategies that can help in the moment.
Background and approach
Over time she adds skills and habits to reduce worry, improve sleep, and rebuild confidence. Jennifer blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based ideas to make space for difficult emotions.
Attachment-informed work helps when relationship patterns and trust are central concerns. Her style is warm, straightforward, and goal-focused. She treats sessions like teamwork and encourages people to set the goals that matter to them.
She also uses coaching techniques when someone needs motivation to make changes. Jennifer has a background in criminal justice and experience supporting people with trauma, addictions, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with parenting stress, career issues, and long-term mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder.
If practical tools and a direct, caring approach appeal to you, she may be a fit.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on practical skills you can use between sessions to improve sleep, reduce worry, and manage symptoms.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult emotions while taking steps toward a values-based life. ACT can be useful for chronic worry, grief, and life transitions when avoidance has become limiting.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works together with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She may blend techniques over time so the work matches changing needs.
Online therapy offers options that fit busy or geographically spread lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get brief support between sessions or to check in when writing feels more comfortable.
These formats make it simpler to keep continuity of care, practice new skills in real situations, and schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
