About Jennifer
Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, ADHD, and codependency. Clients commonly come for help with intimacy issues, communication problems, and trouble saying no.
Her style is conversational and interactive. She listens to what is said and pays attention to feelings underneath the symptoms. Sessions are practical and focused on understanding patterns such as abandonment, attachment issues, control and dependent personality concerns.
Jennifer draws on several therapy approaches to shape sessions. She uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and self-understanding.
She has worked in both individual and group settings and has experience supporting people with PTSD and childhood trauma. Jennifer also addresses related issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, dissociation, and sexual diversity topics including BDSM and kink culture.
Her aim in sessions is straightforward: to help people notice patterns, talk through why those patterns exist, and practice concrete steps that feel doable. She asks questions, offers tools, and adjusts the approach based on what the person needs and prefers.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on building small habits and accepting difficult feelings while moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and helps people understand how early bonds shape current reactions and intimacy struggles.Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to use and when to shift emphasis.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and may allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require travel. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera, needs lower bandwidth options, or wants sessions that better align with work and caregiving schedules.
