About Jennifer
Jennifer Groom-Reid is a Connecticut LCSW with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, relationship strain, and major life transitions.
She helps people facing divorce, loss, midlife changes, and the ongoing patterns that keep them stuck. That includes issues like codependency, abandonment, control problems, and impulsivity. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, chronic pain, mood disorders, and the practical strains of money or career stress.
Her practice includes work on intimacy and relationship concerns, infertility of trust such as infidelity, and parenting stresses. She also addresses sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and questions that arise near end of life and hospice care. Clients bring a mix of immediate problems and deeper patterns, and sessions move between urgent needs and longer term skills building.
Jennifer draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness methods. That means sessions may include values clarification, skill practice, behavior experiments, and focused reflection on thoughts and feelings.
Her style is culturally aware and direct. People work with her to change unhelpful patterns, reduce reactive behaviors like snapping or rumination, and learn practical tools to handle stressors. For next steps she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anger that comes from frustration or feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to change reactions and behaviors. This approach often helps with anxiety, mood issues, and reactive anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss goals, current struggles, and what methods feel most useful. Together you decide whether ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or mindfulness techniques should guide your sessions based on practical needs and preferences.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday settings and apply new tools between meetings.
