About Jennifer
Jennifer Reed-Grimmett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to help people find relief from stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Her approach is warm and direct, offering simple tools and short-term strategies you can use right away. Jennifer begins by learning about your daily struggles and what you hope to change.
Early sessions often focus on calming strategies and practical steps to improve concentration, sleep, or mood. She balances support with coaching, so clients leave with concrete skills they can try between visits.
With 24 years of experience, Jennifer draws on several approaches to match a person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward their values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Attachment-Based work helps people understand relationship patterns and emotional needs.
She describes her style as engaging, nonjudgmental, and plain-spoken. That means sessions aim to be straightforward and helpful instead of full of jargon.
Jennifer also brings background knowledge in criminal justice and law enforcement contexts when relevant to a client’s story. People come to her with many concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting stress, grief, addiction, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
She focuses on understanding each person and collaborating on realistic goals for change.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jennifer uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult emotions while identifying values-based actions that move life forward. ACT can be useful when anxiety, depression, or chronic stress make taking steps feel overwhelming.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more helpful thinking and behaviors. CBT is often chosen for problems like sleep trouble, panic, low mood, or anger because it focuses on clear, structured skill-building.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. This means therapy is shaped around the client’s needs rather than a fixed plan.
Online sessions let people access counseling more easily. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders or reflections between sessions. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working together.
