About Jennifer
Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and many life transitions. Young adult issues are among the areas she lists, including stress around work, school, identity and feeling behind.
Her approach is conversational and interactive. Sessions are often a mix of talking, practical problem solving, and skill practice. Jennifer listens for the patterns and the "why" behind symptoms so she can help people name what is happening and try different ways of responding.
She uses cognitive and behavioral methods alongside attachment-focused ideas. That means looking at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going, and also how early relationships shape current patterns. She draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work to support change.
Jennifer has worked in both individual and group settings and has experience with trauma-related care. Her background includes work with mood disorders, ADHD, grief, addictions, eating and sleep problems, and compassion fatigue among caregivers. She also lists additional focus areas such as attachment concerns, body image, blended family issues, and aspects of alternative sexual cultures.
Practical goals, clearer communication, and coping skills are common focuses in her sessions. People often leave with steps to try between meetings and tools to manage strong emotions. To begin, she asks new clients about current struggles, history, and what they want to change.
How her approaches are used online

ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking action in line with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feelings of being stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connection shapes current trust, intimacy, and communication issues; it can help when relationship patterns or abandonment worries are central.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. Sessions can shift over time as new needs emerge and different techniques are tried together.
