About Jennifer

Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, parenting stress, mood concerns like bipolar disorder, and struggles with addiction or ADHD. She also supports those coping with grief, sleep or eating problems, low self-esteem, anger, and major life changes. Her approach is conversational and grounded.

Sessions are interactive and focused on listening to what lies beneath symptoms. She aims to help clients name the patterns that cause pain and spot strengths they may have missed.

Background and approach

Jennifer draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Narrative ideas to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns and behavioral shifts.

Attachment-focused work helps when relationships and closeness are creating distress. Clients can expect a respectful, empathetic atmosphere where practical steps are paired with deeper reflection. Jennifer adapts the pace and tools to what feels most useful, whether that means learning new skills or revisiting old stories to find different meanings.

She has over a decade of experience in mental health work, including both individual and group formats. That background informs a flexible style that balances concrete strategies with curiosity about personal history and relationship patterns.

Online session options

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jennifer uses Narrative therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can be especially helpful for work on identity, shame, and recurring patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build small, committed actions that move someone toward a life they care about when emotions feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of closeness and trust and helps people change how they relate in important relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jennifer works collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals, history, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as the work progresses so therapy stays useful and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send notes between sessions and fit support into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while still focusing on real change.
