Jennifer Ladd, LPC

Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She has 13 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and grief. She also supports people facing parenting stress, bipolar disorder, addiction issues, ADHD, and concerns about intimacy and self-esteem.

Her style is warm, conversational, and interactive. She listens for the deeper feelings and patterns behind the concerns people bring. Sessions aim to be respectful and compassionate while also focused on practical change.

Jennifer draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, and dialectical behavior strategies. She adapts conversations and exercises to fit each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

She has worked in both individual and group settings and has experience addressing complex histories such as childhood trauma, codependency, and chronic stress. Jennifer emphasizes strengths and personal values alongside symptom reduction when building a plan.

People who choose her often want a therapist who balances direct skill-building with empathetic listening. Her goal is to help clients understand their patterns and take steps toward more satisfying daily habits and healthier relationships.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts while focusing on values and small actions that matter. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck from old patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to build different habits and coping skills. It is often chosen for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect trust and intimacy. It can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose methods that match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, scheduling during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or using a shorter phone check-in when needed. It also lets people practice skills in their regular routines and bring real-life examples straight into sessions. Many licensed professionals use similar approaches effectively online, and the focus remains practical skill-building and improving everyday habits.
