About Jennifer

Jennifer Reed-Grimmett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, parenting challenges, depression, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

With 24 years of counseling experience, she offers a compassionate, straightforward approach that focuses on understanding what each person wants to accomplish and providing practical steps to feel better in the short term and build resilience over time. Her style is warm, engaged, and nonjudgmental, blending coaching and therapeutic guidance.

Jennifer listens closely to clients’ stories, offers calming exercises when needed, and introduces tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other approaches to help clients identify thoughts and behaviors that influence mood and to develop alternatives that support healthier routines and relationships.

Jennifer also brings experience with trauma, grief, addiction concerns, compassion fatigue, grief, and complex family and attachment issues. She aims to create a collaborative environment where clients set goals with her support, then work toward greater peace, self-understanding, and improved coping in both immediate and longer-term situations.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Jennifer often incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learn practical strategies for changing behaviors that maintain stress, anxiety, or mood difficulties. CBT is commonly used for worries, depression, sleep problems, and many daily-life challenges.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach skills for accepting difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that align with those values. ACT can be especially useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors the blend of methods to fit the person rather than applying a single technique. This collaborative stance helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and actionable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it possible to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations within the therapist's practice area. These formats support regular contact and practical skill building while allowing clients to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable.
