About Jamila
Jamila Hadden is a Kentucky LPCC with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Jamila also provides support around concerns like abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and isolation. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Jamila draws on client-centered work to focus conversations on what matters to each person. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered for emotional regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She will talk through what a person wants to change, try specific strategies, and check progress along the way. Motivational interviewing may be used to help build momentum when someone feels stuck.
Jamila has helped people manage problems related to substance use, family of origin issues, communication problems, and challenges faced by first responders. She also works with people who have intellectual disability or autism spectrum concerns as listed in her focus areas. The work is practical and grounded in day-to-day life.

How Jamila’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions can provide the same open conversation where the therapist reflects back what matters and helps set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses short exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In remote sessions this can look like homework between meetings and review of what worked. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for regulating strong emotions and tolerating distress, which can be practiced in the time between appointments.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. Jamila will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered talk, CBT tasks, DBT skills, or a mix feels most useful. The plan can shift as needs and goals become clearer.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule - they can reduce travel time, make shorter check-ins easier to schedule, and let someone attend from wherever they are at the moment. Online work also supports using worksheets, screen-sharing, and follow-up messages to reinforce skill practice between meetings.
