About Jennifer

Jennifer Groom-Reid is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, and complex family dynamics.

Background and approach

She draws on 12 years of clinical experience to support people facing major life transitions such as divorce, loss, and midlife changes, as well as ongoing struggles like mood disorders, chronic pain, and compassion fatigue. Her style centers on an affirming, culturally responsive stance that prioritizes being seen and heard.

She blends evidence-based techniques with a client-centered emphasis on values, self-compassion, and practical skills to address issues such as codependency, control patterns, relationship hurt, financial worries, and intimacy-related challenges. Working from a nonjudgmental place, she helps clients explore forgiveness, self-love, and decision-making during periods of uncertainty.

Jennifer practices in Connecticut and brings a steady, collaborative presence to therapy. She accepts international clients and uses approaches intended to meet each person where they are, helping them move toward greater clarity, balance, and emotional resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jennifer frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be helpful for people coping with life transitions, anxiety, or chronic stress by focusing on what matters most to the individual. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood-related struggles; CBT often includes practical exercises and homework to build skills between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She partners with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and past experiences with therapy, then tailors techniques so they align with each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to continue consistent work during life changes or when in-person meetings are not convenient, while allowing therapists to use ACT, CBT, mindfulness practices, and other tools effectively in remote sessions.
