About Jennifer

Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and grief. She also helps those dealing with parenting stress, bipolar symptoms, addiction concerns, and issues around self-esteem and anger.

Her sessions are conversational and interactive. She listens for the underlying reasons behind patterns and symptoms. Jennifer balances practical techniques with a focus on personal strengths and preferences.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. That mix allows her to offer skills practice, values-based work, and attention to how attachment affects relationships.

Jennifer has experience in individual and group settings and has training in trauma-focused work for post-traumatic stress. She frames diagnosis as one useful tool among others and aims to help people understand how symptoms fit their life story.

In sessions she will set concrete goals, teach skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and try out new ways of responding. She encourages short experiments between meetings to test what helps in daily life.

Her style is straightforward, respectful, and focused on problem-solving. People who want structured, practical approaches to reduce symptoms and improve communication tend to find this format useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It uses structured exercises and between-session practice to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, chronic issues, and difficulties with motivation.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current trust and communication. It can help with intimacy-related concerns and attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discussing practical arrangements helps shape sessions that fit daily routines and technical resources.
