About Jennifer
Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 13 years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are dealing with relationship strains, parenting stress, grief, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, anxiety, and issues around addiction and intimacy. She also works with concerns like ADHD, low self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is conversational and interactive. Sessions focus on listening for the feelings and patterns behind problems. She combines practical strategies with reflective discussion so people can notice what keeps them stuck and try different ways of responding.
Jennifer draws on several evidence-informed methods to support change. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas shape work on relationships and recurring patterns from early life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to help regulate emotion and manage intense moments.
She has worked in both individual and group settings and has experience addressing trauma, including work with trauma-focused cognitive behavioral techniques. In sessions she balances clinical listening with an intuitive style to help people name the problems they bring and experiment with alternatives.
Practical goals often include clearer communication, better emotion management, reduced avoidance, and steadier day-to-day functioning. People considering work with her are encouraged to review how her methods fit their goals and to confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and make space for values-guided action. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where deciding what matters is part of the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses concrete exercises to change them. CBT is often applied to mood, anxiety, sleep, and some trauma-related symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that repeat over time and helps people understand how early bonds affect current closeness and conflict.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep using and which to drop.
Confirm the session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fewer interruptions for travel, easier fitting of appointments into a busy day, and options for a shorter check-in when time is limited. These features can make it easier to maintain consistent work on parenting stress, relationship communication, or emotion regulation without major schedule disruption.
