Jennifer Roney is a Licensed Professional Counselor with an LPC-MHSP designation in Tennessee. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. Parents worried about sleeping, parenting strain, or attention difficulties will find a straightforward, goal-focused approach.

Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on skills people can use the same week. Her style is centered on listening first, then building plans that match a person’s daily life and responsibilities. Her work uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to build new habits.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and motivate change, and Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Jennifer blends practical skill-building with compassionate listening.
Jennifer has experience in community mental health settings and has worked with a wide range of concerns including chronic illness, caregiver stress, abandonment and attachment issues, body image, and disruptive mood disorders. She aims to make therapy a place for steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and use a combination of conversation and simple exercises.
People who choose her work can expect direct feedback, homework when useful, and help planning next steps between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when anxiety or fear is present. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with long-standing trust, intimacy, and attachment concerns.Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about a person’s goals, history, and daily life, then suggest strategies to try. Together they adjust the plan over time so the work fits what actually helps between sessions.
Online therapy methods include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for exercises. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, on-the-go check-ins and easier ways to keep momentum between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while keeping the focus on practical progress.
