About Jennifer
Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship pain, parenting stress, trauma, grief, and issues like ADHD or addiction. Her style is warm and conversational, and she aims to listen for the feelings behind the problems people bring to sessions.
Her work is practical and collaborative. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based methods to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment-focused ideas to understand how early relationships shape current struggles. Sessions tend to be interactive. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and suggests exercises or small experiments clients can try between sessions.
She also uses skills from dialectical approaches when emotion regulation or strong reactions are getting in the way of daily life. Jennifer has provided both individual and group counseling during her career. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental stance while helping people identify strengths and steps forward.
She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including parenting, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. Many clients come wanting help with communication problems, attachment wounds, or getting unstuck from patterns like codependency or avoidance. Jennifer meets each person where they are and tailors conversations and plans to fit their needs and goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck when avoidance keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change feelings and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, mood challenges, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and helps people develop new ways of relating and communicating when attachment wounds show up.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts tools and skills as needed and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a longer face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or quick skill reminders. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules and make regular contact more practical.
