Jennifer Ladd , LPC

Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, mood and anxiety concerns, and issues related to ADHD and addiction. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, anger, intimacy concerns, and the everyday weight of life changes. Her style is warm and conversational and she aims to make therapy feel approachable.

Jennifer listens to both the facts and the feelings beneath them. She uses active listening and intuitive questioning to help people uncover patterns and understand why symptoms appear. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs rather than following a single script.

Her work draws on several practical approaches including cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She mixes talking, skill-building, and experiential exercises depending on the concern presented. This means sessions can include skill practice, thought work, and guided reflection.

Clients with complex histories such as childhood trauma, codependency, chronic health challenges, or blended family stress can expect a steady, respectful pace. Jennifer emphasizes strengths alongside diagnosis so people can notice what’s already working as they try new things.

She has over a decade of clinical experience and has provided both individual and group counseling. People who choose to work with her will find a therapist who values sensitivity, respect, and collaboration while focusing on practical steps toward clearer thinking and better everyday coping.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, life changes, and challenges like chronic pain. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early close relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, abandonment fears, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience by using empathetic listening and reflection to help people find their own answers and build self-trust.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problem you bring and then recommend methods to try. That plan can change over time as progress is made and needs shift, so the process stays collaborative and flexible.

Online therapy here can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper dialogue and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or helpful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions, do brief skill practice, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use approaches like ACT or attachment work without needing to travel.
