About Jennifer
Jennifer Groom-Reid is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and anger. She offers straightforward, compassionate support for those coping with life changes and relationship strains. Her style is warm and attentive, aimed at helping people feel understood and able to make practical changes.
She focuses on major transitions like divorce, loss, and midlife shifts, and on deeper patterns such as codependency, abandonment, and control issues.
Background and approach
Jennifer also works with clients dealing with chronic pain, mood disorders, and end-of-life concerns. Her practice includes attention to financial stress, career strain, and intimacy-related problems. In sessions she listens closely and helps people name what matters to them.
She blends talk and skills-based work to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness and acceptance principles often appear in her approach to help people tolerate hard emotions and make values-based choices. Her background includes 12 years of clinical experience as an LCSW.
That experience informs practical strategies for coping with impulsivity, addiction struggles, and compassion fatigue. She brings cultural responsiveness into conversations about identity and family dynamics. Jennifer invites people to explore forgiveness, self-compassion, and clearer boundaries.
The work is collaborative and paced to each persons needs. She aims to help clients move toward steadier moods, healthier relationships, and a clearer sense of purpose.

How therapy approaches shape your online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or sleep trouble. It often includes practical exercises between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and reduce reactivity, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and chronic stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques to see what fits. You and the therapist can adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant to your changing needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is helpful for longer therapy work and skill teaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, coaching-style support, or checking in between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain consistent progress.
