About Jennifer
Jennifer Groom-Reid is a Connecticut LCSW with 12 years of experience supporting adults through hard life moments. She works with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship strain, trauma and codependency concerns. Her practice also covers mood disorders like depression and bipolar, ADHD, and the practical pressures of career and money problems.
She focuses on real-life changes such as divorce, loss, and midlife transitions. Jennifer helps people who keep putting others first, who struggle with control or abandonment fears, and those coping with chronic illness or end-of-life issues. Sessions include talking through relationship hurts, exploring patterns that hurt rather than help, and practicing new ways to respond.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness. That means she uses present-moment strategies, behavior-focused tools, and skills for managing strong emotions. Conversations aim to be direct and practical, with techniques people can use between sessions.
Jennifer attends to cultural background and life context when helping people sort out next steps. She often addresses parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related concerns while also supporting grief and hospice-related questions. The focus is on clearer choices and steadier routines rather than quick fixes.
People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions run on a subscription you can cancel at any time. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-guided action. It helps when people feel stuck by their thinking and want clearer direction for living in line with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful habits. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and disruptive routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve daily focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will discuss goals and day-to-day realities to decide which methods to use. That makes the process collaborative and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and make it easier to continue work between appointments. Therapists often adapt ACT, CBT and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so skills can be practiced in everyday life and tested between meetings.
