About Jennifer

Jennifer Groom-Reid is a Connecticut-based LCSW with 12 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life transitions. She centers her work on meeting clients where they are and attending to the cultural and personal contexts that shape each person’s experience.

Background and approach

Her practice often addresses complex family dynamics, relationship struggles, and issues related to intimacy and trust. Her clinical focus also includes mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, challenges with impulse control, chronic pain and illness, and concerns tied to career, money, and parenting.

Jennifer draws from evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practices to tailor treatment to each client’s needs. She emphasizes compassion, authenticity, and practical skills so clients can navigate change, reconcile past hurts, and build more fulfilling routines and relationships.

Jennifer welcomes international clients and offers flexible session options. She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which understanding, practical tools, and gradual growth help people move toward greater balance and wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jennifer integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood and to build concrete coping skills. ACT encourages people to clarify personal values and take committed actions even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present, which can help with grief, life transitions, and chronic struggles.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic journey rather than a one-time decision. The therapist collaborates with each client to assess needs, try techniques, and adjust the approach over time so treatment matches goals, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to receive consistent care during busy or transitional periods, allowing clients to work on skills, reflect between sessions, and stay engaged from wherever they are.
