Jennifer Ladd

Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She helps people facing anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma, and other life challenges. Her manner is warm and conversational, and she aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful for everyday life.

She brings 13 years of experience to sessions and listens for the reasons behind tough reactions. Jennifer uses clear, practical approaches to help people identify patterns, try new coping skills, and set realistic goals. She respects each person's strengths and values while working to reduce overwhelm.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses attachment-focused perspectives to look at relational patterns, and client-centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in the client's priorities. Jennifer adapts the plan to what each person needs rather than following one fixed path.

In sessions she mixes talk, skill practice, and reflection. That might include trying a new communication step, practicing grounding skills for strong emotions, or planning small changes to improve sleep and routine. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so clients can see what’s shifting.

She has supported people with a wide range of concerns including grief, bipolar symptoms, substance-related struggles, ADHD, eating and body image issues, and chronic illness. Jennifer aims to help people move from stuck patterns toward clearer choices and more manageable days.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to values-based actions that make life more meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anger, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions and helps people try new patterns in relationships and communication.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences, and may blend techniques over time. Clients and the therapist check in about what is helping and adjust the plan together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, like shorter check-ins between commitments or sessions that avoid travel time. It also supports steady practice of skills at home and straightforward follow-up between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to support emotion regulation, relationship work, and practical problem solving while tailoring the process to each person's life.
