About Jennifer
Jennifer Roney is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Mental Health Services Provider designation (LPC, LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on practical support for parents and people handling stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. Her style aims to be down-to-earth and solution-focused so parents can try strategies that fit busy days.
She draws on a mix of approaches that help people change unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple, concrete tools for regulating emotions, improving communication, and shifting thoughts that get in the way. She uses ideas from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based practices to help clients notice what matters and act on it. Jennifer has 11 years of professional experience.
That background includes work in community settings and with a wide range of concerns such as trauma, addiction, sleep problems, attention challenges, and caregiver stress. She also supports issues related to adoption, attachment, blended families, and body image. In sessions she offers both short-term problem-solving and longer-term work on coping and relationships.
Parents can expect a collaborative approach that balances practical skill-building with attention to feelings and family patterns. Progress often comes from small, repeatable steps clients can use between meetings. Therapy is offered in English and delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Jennifer works with adults and focuses on helping individuals manage parenting challenges, emotional symptoms, and life changes.

Approaches that fit parenting and daily life
Jennifer integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients change unhelpful thinking and take steps that match their values. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and building new behaviors that reduce distress, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. ACT helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and commit to small actions that improve family life and personal goals.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current parenting or partner interactions. That work helps people notice automatic responses and practice new ways of relating that can ease conflict and improve closeness.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences, try techniques that fit your situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Many clients move between short-term problem solving and longer relational work as needs change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone can be a good lower-bandwidth option, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to schedule around work, childcare, and busy days while still getting consistent support.
