About Jennifer
Jennifer Groom-Reid is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience based in Connecticut. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, family concerns, parenting pressures, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
She often supports people facing big life changes such as divorce, loss, or midlife transitions. She also helps with codependency, abandonment, control patterns, and financial worries. Her practice includes work with mood disorders, bipolar disorder, chronic illness and pain, and end-of-life concerns.
Her sessions focus on practical tools and clear conversation. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. The work usually combines skill-building with time to talk through feelings and choices.
She pays attention to cultural background and how identity affects day-to-day life. That perspective is woven into sessions rather than added on afterward. Clients can expect direct discussion about family dynamics and the concrete stresses of parenting and caregiving.
Jennifer aims to help people notice patterns that cause pain and test small changes. She offers coaching-style support for career and financial stress alongside therapy for grief, trauma, and mood challenges. Practical steps are paired with space to make sense of what has happened.
People looking for help with parenting strain, family conflict, or major life transitions may find her approach useful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, workable steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts. It can help when life transitions or ongoing stress make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will help clients decide which methods make sense based on goals, what feels manageable, and practical needs. That decision is collaborative and can shift as circumstances change.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule around work, childcare, or medical appointments. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and the ability to avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of skills-based exercises, mindfulness practices, and coaching-style conversations in remote sessions to address parenting strain, family conflict, grief, and mood challenges.
