About Jennifer
Jennifer Reeder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. She works with adults who want practical tools and clearer thinking to manage life changes. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Jennifer uses a human-centered approach that centers the person's own goals and strengths. She draws on client-centered work to listen closely, and employs mindfulness skills to help reduce reactivity and calm the body.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when people need help managing intense emotions and improving coping strategies. Her background includes three years of clinical experience as an LCSW in Maine. That work has involved a range of concerns such as relationship strain, caregiver stress, workplace issues, trauma, and end-of-life topics.
She brings experience with common worries like self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she focuses on practical strategies you can try between meetings. This can include skills for emotion regulation, short coaching-style conversations about next steps, and narrative techniques to reframe difficult stories.
Jennifer emphasizes simple, usable steps that fit into busy lives. People meet her for help navigating parenting stress, handling anxiety, or coping after losses and trauma. She aims to help clients build routines and perspectives that reduce overwhelm and increase agency.
If someone wants clear guidance paired with respectful listening, she offers that combination.

Practical approaches for online parenting support
Jennifer blends client-centered listening with DBT skills and mindfulness work to help people manage strong emotions, reduce reactivity, and build steady routines. Client-centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's goals and experiences so sessions follow what matters most to the client. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when feelings feel overwhelming. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce stress and improve awareness of thoughts and reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what actually helps. She works with clients to combine skill practice, coaching-style problem solving, and narrative shifts so therapy fits the client's life and parenting needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and maintain continuity of care.
