About Jennifer
Jennifer Groom-Reid is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of practice in Connecticut. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, and ADHD-related concerns. Her style is direct and compassionate, aiming to make change manageable and clear for busy lives.
Clients meet someone who listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps. Sessions often break problems into small, doable tasks. She emphasizes skills that can be used between meetings to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routine.
Background and approach
Jennifer works with people coping with major life shifts such as divorce, grief, and midlife transitions. She also addresses relationship hurts, infidelity, and family problems in individual sessions. Financial strain, career changes, chronic illness, and hospice or end-of-life concerns are included in her practice.
Her clinical approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness. She also uses client-centered and dialectical techniques to tailor work to each person. That mix helps with emotional regulation, impulsivity, and building healthier habits.
Clients can expect a culturally aware stance that respects different backgrounds and identities. The process centers on collaborating to set realistic goals. Jennifer aims to help people rebuild self-compassion, manage strong emotions, and find clearer direction amid change.
Working with ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of living the life someone wants.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing impulsivity.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices pair well with other techniques to build steadier routines and better emotional balance.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work as a team to find the best fit over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for full conversations and skill demonstrations, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging works for brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible for work schedules, caregiving demands, and travel.
