About Jennifer
Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, bipolar disorder, and substance-related issues. She also supports people facing body image concerns, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is warm and conversational. Sessions are interactive and focused on understanding the feelings beneath symptoms.
Background and approach
She listens closely and uses clinical skills alongside an intuitive approach to find what matters most to each person. Jennifer draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based ideas to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and take meaningful action. She also uses attachment-based thinking to look at patterns in relationships, and dialectical skills when emotions feel overwhelming.
The goal is practical, doable steps rather than long lists of theory. She has worked in both individual and group settings. That background informs how she structures sessions and uses exercises or group-style practices when helpful.
Jennifer tailors the plan to each person’s needs, preferences, and pace. She presents diagnosis as useful information while also highlighting strengths, personality, and values. The work tends to focus on clearer communication, better emotion regulation, improved routines for sleep and eating, and developing coping skills for life changes and chronic health challenges.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name their values, notice unhelpful thoughts, and take small actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and struggling with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and communication. It can help people notice repeating patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to prioritize skills work, values-driven action, or exploring relationship patterns, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is often used for deeper conversation and exercises, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins or focused problem-solving, and messaging can be used for ongoing coaching-style support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health schedules while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
