About Jennifer
Jennifer Groom-Reid offers short, clear support for people facing life changes and hard emotions. She helps with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and career or parenting strain. Jennifer is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Connecticut and brings 12 years of experience to her work.
She focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and regain a sense of control. Sessions often look at patterns such as codependency, abandonment fears, or impulsivity and how those patterns affect daily life.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, and the emotional effects of caregiving. Jennifer uses straightforward, evidence-based tools alongside mindful practices. That means identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral changes, and learning ways to tolerate strong emotions.
She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and client-centered listening to match what each person needs. Cultural awareness and respect for identity are part of her approach. Conversations include practical problem-solving about money, work, parenting, and intimacy when those areas cause stress.
Jennifer aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly and plan realistic next steps. She also addresses specific concerns like bipolar mood shifts, sleep problems, or addiction patterns, keeping goals clear and actionable. People who want steady, compassionate guidance through transitions often find this practical style helpful.

Online support
How Jennifer’s approaches translate to online care
Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, values-driven steps even when feelings are difficult; it can help with grief, avoidance, and life transitions. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and helps people try concrete changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the conversation. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and adjusts techniques as progress is made. The process is collaborative and practical, with clear goals set together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual cues, phone works well for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter exchanges or between-session support. These options help people arrange therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping momentum toward their goals.
