Jennifer Ladd

Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 13 years of experience. She helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, parenting stress, bipolar challenges, addiction concerns, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also supports people facing ADHD, burnout, compassion fatigue, sleep and eating struggles, and body image worries.

Her style is warm and conversational. Sessions are interactive and focused on understanding the feelings behind the problems someone brings. She listens for the deeper reasons behind symptoms and works with each person’s strengths and personality.

Jennifer uses a mix of practical approaches tailored to the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance-based methods to manage painful feelings, and attachment-focused work to look at relational patterns. Dialectical skills and client-centered dialogue are part of how she structures therapy.

She has experience providing both individual and group counseling and has training in trauma-focused methods for post-traumatic stress reactions. Her work aims to help people find clearer direction, better coping tools, and more satisfying relationships.

When someone reaches out, she focuses on respect, sensitivity, and collaboration. The goal is to explore what matters, identify small steps that fit the person’s life, and build toward greater calm and meaning over time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry, sleep problems, and mood swings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early bonds to understand how they affect current connections and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they’ll decide which methods to try. Therapy is collaborative and adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people access a Tennessee-licensed LPC who uses ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused ideas even if they live farther away.
