Jennifer Reeder , LCSW

Jennifer Reeder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Maine who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, career questions, grief, trauma, and related life changes. She uses a human-centered, holistic approach that blends empathy with practical tools so clients can gain insight and begin making meaningful changes right away.

Her work spans issues such as self-esteem, coping with illness or caregiving fatigue, intimacy and commitment concerns, workplace stress, and end-of-life and hospice-related needs. Jennifer aims to create an open, collaborative space where individuals and families can explore patterns, build new skills, and consider different paths forward when they are ready to do so.

In sessions she draws on evidence-informed therapeutic methods to tailor support to each person’s goals, helping clients develop strategies for immediate challenges while also fostering longer-term growth. Jennifer welcomes those seeking coaching-style support as well as therapy for depression, ADHD, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue, and she works with people across the lifespan to clarify values, improve communication, and strengthen coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Jennifer Reeder employs client-centered therapy and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) alongside mindfulness-based techniques to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and helping people explore their own values and goals so they can make choices that align with what matters to them - it is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, trauma-related reactions, and relationship conflict. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding practices to reduce rumination, improve focus, and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with each person to identify needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the client’s situation. Clients are encouraged to give feedback and to shape the pace and focus of care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care from different locations within allowed regions, and access support in formats that feel most comfortable for the individual.
