About Jennifer

Jennifer Reeder uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people manage stress and navigate life changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW based in Maine with three years of clinical experience. Jennifer listens closely, helps clients clarify goals, and supports small steps that lead to change.

Her work often centers on everyday pressures like anxiety, depression, career strain, and relationship tensions. She also addresses parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize clear strategies clients can use between meetings. Jennifer blends client-centered listening with tools from mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to reduce distress and build coping skills. She also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe difficult stories and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change.

This mix aims to be practical and easy to apply in daily life. People can expect straightforward conversations, focus on doable skills, and guidance toward clearer choices. Jennifer supports work on communication problems, boundaries, caregiving stress, and aging or end-of-life concerns when those issues arise.

Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helps clarify goals, and supports choices that feel right for each person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings concrete coping skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can help with anxiety, stress, and relationship strain. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and ease everyday tension.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend ways to combine these methods. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video or phone allow for face-to-face conversations, while chat and texting can be used for brief check-ins or when written communication feels more comfortable. These options increase flexibility and help people access support from home or during transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
