About Jennifer

Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 13 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship problems, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, bipolar concerns, addictions, and issues tied to family of origin. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Her style is conversational and interactive. She listens for the reasons behind symptoms and asks questions that help people put words to difficult feelings. Sessions combine practical skills with reflective conversation so people can understand patterns and try different behaviors.

Jennifer draws on several therapeutic methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, and client-centered approaches. She has also worked in individual and group settings and has experience with trauma-related concerns.

She pays attention to patterns that come from early relationships and family dynamics. That can mean looking at attachment, abandonment worries, codependency, or how family roles continue to affect present choices. Conversations may also cover blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness impacts, and body image concerns.

People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Online sessions and therapeutic approaches

Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in ways most people can understand. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful coping. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early family patterns influence current relationships. That work helps people notice recurring roles, fears of abandonment, and communication habits that come from upbringing. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; she will work with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences during early sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online meetings to maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change, and Jennifer will help match session length and frequency to what works best for everyday routines.
