Jennifer Groom-Reid, LCSW

Jennifer Groom-Reid is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing big life stresses. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and the strain of caregiving. Her style is warm and direct so people feel heard and understood from the first visit.

She often works with people dealing with major transitions such as divorce, loss, and midlife change. She also supports those managing addictions, mood disorders, and chronic pain, and she addresses issues like codependency, abandonment, and control patterns. Many clients come to talk through feelings of emptiness, difficulties with intimacy, or the fallout from infidelity.

Jennifer uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people build skills and make changes they can stick with. She draws on approaches that teach practical tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are used alongside skill-building exercises to help reduce distress and increase meaningful action.

Her work emphasizes cultural awareness and respect for each person's background. She aims to create an affirming space where clients can speak openly about identity, family concerns, money stress, and caregiving roles without judgment. This helps people set realistic goals and try new ways of coping.

With 12 years of experience, Jennifer pairs practical coaching with clinical insight. She supports clients through hospice and end-of-life issues, career shifts, parenting challenges, and the slow work of healing from trauma. The goal is clearer direction, less reactivity, and more ease in daily life.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and managing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce distress and change patterns. It often helps with mood issues, insomnia, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, offering empathic listening and support to help someone feel understood and to find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming one fixed path.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try skills between sessions and bring real-life examples into conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods for remote sessions to focus on coping skills, habit change, and emotional processing without promising a specific outcome.
