01About Jennifer
Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and parenting stress. She works with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, addiction, grief, ADHD, and intimacy or sexual identity questions. Her manner is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make conversations feel calm and focused.
She listens for the reasons behind a problem, not just the symptoms.
Background and approach
That means asking questions, reflecting what she hears, and helping clients name deeper feelings. Sessions are conversational and interactive so people can practice new ways of handling stress and conflict as they talk. Her approach blends practical skills and emotional insight.
Jennifer uses elements of cognitive behavioral methods to shift unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior ideas for emotional regulation, and acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and next steps. Attachment-based ideas guide work around trust and connection. Jennifer has worked in clinical settings for 13 years and brings experience with both individual and group formats.
She values respect, sensitivity, and seeing each person’s strengths alongside their challenges. She aims to tailor plans to a person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. People who come to her often want concrete tools they can use between sessions.
Jennifer focuses on homework that fits real life, like communication practice, grounding skills, or behavioral experiments to test new habits.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and problems with motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult emotions, which can help with grief, chronic stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and trust, helping people understand how past relationships affect current ones and improve connection and communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and how they prefer to work. Together they pick methods and try them out, adjusting plans based on what feels helpful and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and role-play. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins and homework support easier to fit into a busy day. These formats let people keep therapy consistent across different schedules and locations.
