About Jennifer
Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people navigate depression, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, parenting issues, and stress. She has 13 years of experience and works with concerns like grief, bipolar symptoms, addictions, ADHD, eating and sleeping struggles, and intimacy-related problems. Her manner is warm and conversational, and she aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical.
Her style is interactive and grounded in listening. She uses clinical listening plus intuition to find the feelings and patterns underneath symptoms. Sessions focus on understanding what drives behavior and identifying steps that fit each person’s life.
Jennifer draws on several therapy approaches to shape each plan. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment concepts to clarify values and action, and attachment-based perspectives to look at relational patterns. She also incorporates client-centered and dialectical behavior tools when they fit the concern.
She has worked in both individual and group settings and has experience addressing childhood trauma and PTSD-related problems. Jennifer emphasizes strengths alongside diagnosis, helping people make real changes rather than only labeling difficulties.
The first meetings aim to clarify goals and build a simple plan. Conversations are tailored to the person and adjusted as progress is made. People seeking help are invited to begin at a pace that feels manageable and focused on meaningful change.

Approaches that guide online work and real life changes
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to break negative cycles. It often helps with mood, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t working, the plan is adjusted collaboratively so the work stays practical and relevant.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that virtual sessions let them use skills learned in therapy more quickly in daily life. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting to keep sessions focused and goal-oriented.
