Jennifer Groom-Reid, LCSW

Jennifer Groom-Reid is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and big life transitions. She speaks plainly, listens closely, and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at making progress feel possible even when things seem overwhelming.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of reacting. Sessions often include clear skills, short experiments, and reflective conversations to sort out what matters most to each person.

With 12 years of experience, she brings steady support for issues like depression, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and sleep problems. She also helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, codependency, and the fallout of infidelity or divorce.

Jennifer pays attention to the whole of a person’s life, including work, money worries, cultural background, health challenges, and caregiving or end-of-life concerns. She works to make therapy relevant to daily routines and responsibilities so change fits into real life.

People who come to her often want tools they can use right away and a therapist who will listen without judgment. Jennifer meets that need with practical strategies, compassion, and steady guidance tailored to each person’s goals.

How her approaches translate to online care

Jennifer commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered techniques in sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes that lead to different results. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan over time. That collaboration helps make sessions feel more relevant and actionable from the start.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people maintain visual connection for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for short updates or homework between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
