About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer Todd is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She also helps people with ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, family of origin issues, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Dr. Todd treats each person as the expert on their own story. Sessions are practical and straightforward. She listens for strengths and helps clients use those strengths to address day-to-day problems and longer-term patterns. Parents reading this will find a plain approach that looks at how early family roles still shape current behavior.

Her work mixes talking therapy with tools that change thinking and behavior. She uses client-centered methods that prioritize the client's experience. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer thinking.

Emotionally-focused ideas help when relationship patterns are in the way. Mindfulness techniques are offered to manage stress and increase present-moment awareness. Existential approaches are used when questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility come up.

Dr. Todd has helped people in professional and caregiving roles who face burnout, compassion fatigue, or career transitions. She supports clients working through attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care related questions, and body image or eating-related issues. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

The online work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness as practical tools. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Emotionally-focused ideas inform online conversations about relationship and attachment patterns. EFT-style work helps name emotional responses and practice different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Together these approaches give a mix of skill-building and reflective conversation, and Dr. Todd will collaborate with clients to decide which fits best based on their goals and preferences.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. When arranging online sessions, consider practical benefits such as fitting sessions into a workday, using a shorter phone check-in when time is limited, or choosing video when visual connection helps. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly work this way to make therapy manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
