About Jennifer
Jennifer Groom-Reid is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Connecticut with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and major life changes. She also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger, career strain, and mood disorders including depression and bipolar conditions.
Her work includes support around codependency, abandonment, control issues, and the fallout from divorce or infidelity. She also assists people facing chronic illness or pain and those coping with end-of-life and hospice matters. Financial strain, multicultural concerns, and compassion fatigue are among other areas she addresses.
Jennifer draws on several practical methods in sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take purposeful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are integrated when emotion regulation and present-moment awareness are helpful.
Sessions focus on concrete tools and paced conversations. Jennifer aims to notice patterns that keep people stuck and to introduce small changes that are doable in daily life. She works respectfully around cultural differences and personal history.
People who want clear feedback, concrete strategies, and a conversational approach often find this style useful. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to review goals and next steps.
BHow sessions work
How Jennifer uses specific therapies in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about their values and take small actions that align with those values. It is often useful for stress, life transitions, and when someone feels stuck despite knowing what they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood symptoms.Finding the right fit is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their goals and circumstances. She typically combines approaches where it makes sense and checks in regularly to adjust strategies based on what is working.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow brief check-ins between longer appointments, and reduce travel time. Some approaches translate well to shorter skill-focused sessions, while others benefit from longer conversations - Jennifer will discuss pacing and session structure when you schedule the first appointment.
