About Jennifer
Jennifer Groom-Reid is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people through hard times. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and sleeping problems. Jennifer aims to make each session a calm place to figure out what matters most to you.
She helps people facing big life changes like divorce, loss, and midlife transitions. She also works with issues such as codependency, abandonment, control patterns, and intimacy concerns. Financial strain, career stress, and the emotional impact of chronic illness are also topics she addresses.
Jennifer uses straightforward, empathetic methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and a client-centered stance to tailor work to each person. Sessions focus on tools you can use between meetings and moments of reflection that build momentum.
Her style is culturally responsive and nonjudgmental. She pays attention to identity, background, and the personal story each person brings. That means goals and techniques are chosen with those factors in mind.
Jennifer practices in Connecticut and works with people from varied backgrounds. She supports those dealing with grief, family conflict, compulsive patterns, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and mood disorders. The aim is steady progress toward clearer priorities and more restful days.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT helps you notice what you value and take small, committed steps toward those values despite painful thoughts or feelings. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing it with practical experiments to reduce worry and improve sleep.She also brings a client-centered stance to sessions, which means the conversation centers on your experience and goals. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist will work with you to find the right mix based on your needs, preferences, and what you hope to change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and keep work moving forward between meetings. If you prefer a shorter check-in, that can often be arranged, or conversations that emphasize skills practice and planning for restful routines.
