About Jennifer

Jennifer Reed-Grimmett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what a person needs. Her aim is to offer calming tools and short-term strategies that can bring relief while also working toward longer-term improvements.

She uses a warm, team-oriented style and treats clients without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps - calming exercises, clearer thinking, and small behavior changes - alongside conversations that help clients make sense of their feelings. Jennifer describes herself as a coach and motivator who will help clients set their own goals.

With 24 years in counseling, she draws on a background that includes criminal justice experience. That combination informs her approach when people face career strain, compassion fatigue, or stress tied to demanding jobs. She also addresses trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, and sleep and anger problems.

Her work includes methods from acceptance and commitment approaches, attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavior tools, and dialectical behavior skills. Jennifer often mixes these methods to match the needs of the person in front of her. She emphasizes practical tools alongside deeper conversation about patterns and meanings.

People who value straightforward language and a supportive, involved counselor may find her approach helpful. If someone wants to start, Jennifer asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How her therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust, helping with intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since format options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and enable shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s schedule. It also allows the therapist to teach breathing or grounding exercises and to guide skill practice between meetings in a way that fits everyday life.
