About Jennifer
Jennifer Groom-Reid is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, family issues, and major life changes. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career shifts, mood disorders, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She uses practical therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered methods, and mindfulness strategies. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing new responses, and building small, reliable routines that make daily life easier.
Jennifer pays attention to cultural context and to how a person’s identity affects their coping. She often helps people untangle codependency, abandonment fears, control patterns, and issues that come up during divorce or separation. She also supports people facing chronic illness, end-of-life questions, and hospice-related concerns.
Practical goals in her work include managing impulsivity, addressing infidelity and family conflict, and working through financial stress and midlife transitions. She combines evidence-based skills practice with conversations about values and what matters most to each person. The result is a focused plan with measurable steps to try between sessions.
People can expect clear, task-oriented sessions that balance skills practice and reflective talk. Jennifer accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step get the first appointment set up.
How Jennifer uses CBT, ACT and mindfulness online
Jennifer commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or improve sleep. CBT sessions often include homework exercises and brief behavioral experiments to try between meetings.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and to teach techniques for accepting difficult emotions while committing to meaningful action. Mindfulness practices are offered as short exercises people can use to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is observed. That collaborative process includes setting concrete goals and deciding which skills to practice between meetings.
