About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer Hanket-Held offers care for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She is a Tennessee licensed psychologist (TN Psychologist 2554) with 13 years of experience working in outpatient independent practice settings. Her work often addresses traumatic experiences including sexual assault, domestic violence, and military-related issues, and she has supported clients affected by medical trauma and natural disasters.

Her style is described as warm, interactive, and collaborative. She blends cognitive-behavioral and trauma-focused techniques with humanistic and existential perspectives to create individualized treatment plans.

Dr. Hanket-Held emphasizes respect and sensitivity, inviting clients to shape goals while offering evidence-based tools for managing symptoms and building resilience.

Clients can expect a partnership-focused approach that tailors interventions to each person’s circumstances and priorities. She frames therapy as an opportunity to move beyond painful experiences toward meaningful change, providing coaching and clinical support as needed.

Applied therapies and online access for trauma and life stress



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It emphasizes living in line with what matters most rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate unpleasant internal experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and integrating traumatic experiences with techniques designed to reduce distress and build coping skills for long-term recovery.

Choosing the right approach is often part of early work in therapy. The therapist collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time so that interventions fit the person rather than forcing a single model. That collaborative process guides treatment planning and practical next steps.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible and accessible. These formats allow scheduling to fit work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care across different locations in Tennessee. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide consistent, evidence-informed support tailored to each client's situation.
