About Jennifer

Jennifer Ladd is an LPC based in Tennessee who supports people facing a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, stress, addictions, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She brings 13 years of clinical experience to sessions and has worked with many diagnoses and life stressors, aiming to help clients untangle patterns like codependency, attachment difficulties, and dissociation while addressing practical challenges such as sleep, eating, and chronic pain.

Her therapeutic manner is warm, conversational, and interactive, blending active listening with clinical training to explore the deeper feelings and reasons behind presenting symptoms. Jennifer uses a mix of evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based approaches, and client-centered techniques, tailoring treatment to each person’s needs.

She values respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients recognize strengths and build practical skills for coping and growth. Jennifer has provided individual and group counseling and has specialized training in trauma-focused interventions.

Prospective clients can expect collaborative planning, attention to both symptom relief and personal strengths, and a supportive space to work toward clearer goals and improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness to help people live more fully despite difficult thoughts or feelings. These approaches are practical and skill-focused, often useful for stress, mood concerns, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Jennifer works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and she adapts methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than expecting one fixed path from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, continue care while traveling, or choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured therapy, teach skills, and monitor progress while tailoring pacing and tools to each client.
