About Jennifer
Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people navigate relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and codependency. She often supports those dealing with eating or sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and substance concerns. Her tone is warm and practical, and she aims to make therapy feel like a clear, honest conversation.
Jennifer offers a conversational approach that focuses on understanding what lies beneath symptoms. She listens for the deeper feelings and patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions emphasize respect, sensitivity, and compassion while also identifying each person’s strengths and preferences.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and client-centered conversation, mixed with acceptance-oriented and interpersonal methods. She adapts sessions so the approach fits the individual rather than using a single script. That usually means naming unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, and practicing moment-to-moment skills.
Jennifer has worked in individual and group settings over more than a decade. She has experience helping people with complex issues like dissociation, attachment concerns, chronic pain, blended family dynamics, and co-morbid conditions. Therapy often combines practical skill work with deeper emotional exploration.
People describe her style as engaged and intuitive; she balances active guidance with listening. The goal is to help clients make realistic changes, build coping skills, and find clearer answers about what they want next in life.
Approaches that guide online work and change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help people facing depression, anxiety, codependency, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and intimacy problems; it helps people understand and shift repeating relationship dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and working at the client’s pace, giving space for people to find their own solutions and build self-awareness.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problem areas you name, then try methods that seem to fit. Sessions can be adjusted over time so the work stays practical and relevant to what’s actually happening in your life.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they reduce travel time, can fit into a workday break, and make it easier to maintain continuity after a move. Online work can focus on skill practice, tracking progress between sessions, and talking through relationship and emotional patterns just as in-person therapy does.
