Jennifer Reed-Grimmett , LPC

Jennifer Reed-Grimmett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia with 24 years of experience offering supportive, practical counseling. As an LPC she is licensed to provide professional counseling services and focuses on listening carefully to understand each person’s needs and goals. Her work centers on helping people navigate anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, parenting difficulties, grief, addiction, depression, and a broad range of family and interpersonal concerns.

She approaches therapy with warmth, plain-spoken guidance, and a coaching spirit, combining short-term coping strategies with tools for longer-term change. Early sessions often prioritize understanding a client’s story and building trust, while offering calming exercises and immediate coping techniques to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Jennifer emphasizes teamwork in therapy - helping clients set goals while supporting their autonomy and decision making.

Having experience both as a counselor and as a client in counseling relationships, she strives to be understanding, validating, and nonjudgmental. Her practice addresses trauma and abuse, family systems and blended family issues, parenting, self-esteem and identity concerns, personality and mood disorders, compassion fatigue, anger management, career-related challenges, and issues common to law enforcement professionals. She also brings experience with addictions, intimacy-related struggles, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and PTSD.

Jennifer combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, client-centered methods, cognitive and behavioral strategies, and skills-based approaches to tailor care to each person’s situation. She aims to help people find greater peace, clearer direction, and practical ways to feel better in the present and over time.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Jennifer often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT emphasizes mindful awareness and practical behavior changes that support long-term goals and emotional flexibility.

She also uses attachment-based perspectives to explore how early relationships influence current patterns in intimacy, trust, and communication. This approach can be helpful for people struggling with closeness, abandonment concerns, or recurring relationship conflicts. Jennifer pairs these methods with client-centered principles - offering empathic listening and collaboration so the client’s experience shapes the pace and goals of therapy.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Jennifer works collaboratively to determine what fits each client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time, blending skills training, insight work, and coaching to match what is most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making sessions easier to fit into busy schedules and daily life. These formats provide flexibility for ongoing work, timely support between sessions, and consistent access to licensed professionals who can guide coping strategies and treatment planning.
