Dr. Jennifer Todd , LPC

Dr. Jennifer Todd helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, work pressures, or big life changes. She uses clear, practical conversations to help clients set goals and try new ways of coping. Her style is direct but warm, and she focuses on a client's strengths when planning next steps.

With 24 years of counseling experience, Jennifer Todd brings a steady, down-to-earth presence to sessions. She approaches problems like motivation, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and relationship distress in small, manageable steps. Sessions often include skill-building around sleep, eating, anger, and daily routines.

Her work draws on client-centered principles that emphasize listening and collaboration. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. Emotion-focused ideas help when the issue centers on painful feelings and connection.

Dr. Todd has additional experience with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, and attachment-related concerns. She also supports people facing adoption or foster care issues, caregiver stress, and body image worries. That background informs how she tailors goals and homework between sessions.

People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, which lets sessions fit around work or family life. She works with clients across Alabama and accepts international clients. Her credential is LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and fit

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship so the client guides goals and priorities. It is useful for people who want a collaborative, strengths-focused process and clear support in deciding next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and uses straightforward exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. It often helps with anxiety, sleep and eating problems, low mood, and stress management.

Emotionally-focused ideas are used when connection and strong feelings are central to the concern; sessions help name and work through intense emotions and improve emotional expression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions are revisited together so the plan changes if something isn't helping.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth, live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats aim to make scheduling simpler and therapy more accessible across different locations.
