About Jennifer
Jennifer Reed-Grimmett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 24 years of experience. She works with adults on common early-adulthood pressures like stress, anxiety, relationships, career questions, and life changes. She also helps people coping with trauma, grief, parenting stress, and issues such as anger, sleep problems, and self-esteem.
Jennifer listens first and asks clear questions to understand each person's situation. She uses straightforward language and offers calming exercises and short-term strategies that can help someone feel better right away. Her approach includes practical tools alongside discussion so clients can try things between sessions.
In sessions she combines methods from acceptance and commitment approaches, attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral strategies, and dialectical behavior techniques. That mix is used to address emotional regulation, relationship patterns, and behavior change. She aims to help people notice what matters most to them and act in ways aligned with their goals.
Jennifer draws on a background that includes criminal justice as well as counseling experience. She says she understands what it is like to be the client and uses that perspective to be plain-spoken and engaged. People can expect a collaborative tone, clear tools, and direct conversation about goals and progress.
Her practice covers a broad range of concerns beyond young adult stress, including addictions, personality issues, somatic disorders, and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on practical steps and ongoing support to manage daily challenges and build coping skills.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Therapy here draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for stress, avoidance, and feeling stuck. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and sleep problems.Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work. It looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and intimacy. That can help with communication, trust, and recurring relationship difficulties. These approaches are described plainly and tied to practical skills so clients can try strategies between sessions.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and the focus is on concrete steps and skills that fit a person's life.
