About Jennifer
Jennifer Reed-Grimmett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people feel better and regain daily functioning. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand each person’s situation.

She brings 24 years of clinical experience and a history that includes work related to criminal justice. That background informs a practical, straightforward style that many people find grounding.
Background and approach
Her approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative; she invites clients to set goals and helps them reach those targets at a comfortable pace. Therapy with Jennifer often includes emotion-focused conversation alongside tools to manage stress and anxiety. She uses body-aware methods alongside evidence-based talking therapies.
This mix helps when emotional pain shows up in the body, sleep is disrupted, or stress makes daily tasks hard. Her work covers many concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, ADHD, parenting challenges, career stress, and chronic health issues. She also supports people coping with abandonment, attachment struggles, blended family stress, and caregiver fatigue.
Jennifer prefers plain language in sessions and aims to be a reliable, steady presence. She offers practical coaching, calming exercises, and longer-term skill building. If a person wants straightforward guidance and tools plus space to be heard, she can be a helpful partner in the process.
How Jennifer blends body-focused and practical therapies online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and uses gentle awareness and grounding techniques to help reduce physical tension and reactivity. This can be useful for people with stress, trauma, chronic pain, or sleep problems.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting the focus to meaningful action rather than fighting difficult feelings.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that formed in early relationships and how they affect current connection and trust. It helps people who struggle with intimacy, commitment issues, and attachment wounds to create safer ways of relating.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as sessions progress so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option, and live chat or text messaging provide short, ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep building skills consistently.
