About Jennifer
Jennifer Reed-Grimmett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with 24 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and related concerns. Jennifer aims to listen first and learn what each person hopes to accomplish before suggesting steps forward.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and short-term strategies that can help reduce overwhelm and make daily tasks easier. She often teaches calming exercises and simple tools to improve concentration and manage strong emotions. Early work typically involves explaining what she hears and checking that her understanding matches the client27s experience.
Jennifer describes her style as plain-spoken and engaged. She invites clients to set goals and works alongside them to reach those goals. She draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide this work.
Her background includes experience in criminal justice and law enforcement contexts, which informs how she approaches trauma, grief, and stress related to high-demand jobs. She also supports people dealing with addiction, eating concerns, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts, always starting from the individual27s stated needs and priorities.
People who prefer clear language and hands-on tools often find her approach straightforward and practical. To begin, she asks clients to describe what they want to change so sessions can focus on immediate, usable steps as well as longer-term coping skills.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying values and building actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety and life changes. CBT targets unhelpful thought and behavior patterns with practical exercises to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. During early sessions she will listen, discuss options, and help decide which methods fit a person27s needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing one way of working.
Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients use skills and calming exercises in the moments they need them, then discuss how those strategies felt in the next session with a licensed professional.
