About Jennifer
Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, parenting strain, bipolar challenges, and issues with attention or addiction. Her style is warm, conversational, and direct so clients can talk through what matters most to them.
She uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat in close relationships. She also draws on cognitive behavioral and acceptance work to change thoughts and build new habits.
Background and approach
Sessions are interactive and geared to real-life changes rather than abstract theory. Jennifer listens for the deeper feelings behind symptoms like anger, low self-esteem, dissociation, or grief. She helps people name those feelings and find practical steps forward.
Many clients work on communication problems, intimacy concerns, or coping with medical or caregiving stress. Her approach blends client-centered conversation with tools from ACT, CBT, and DBT when useful. She adapts the plan to each person’s situation, focusing on strengths and concrete strategies.
Progress is measured by small, achievable steps. Jennifer has worked in both individual and group settings and supports people dealing with complex histories such as childhood trauma, PTSD-related symptoms, abandonment, or attachment challenges. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can process, learn new skills, and make steady change.

Online support
How attachment work and skills translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior, helping people recognize why they react the way they do in close relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and move toward values-based actions, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns and build new habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer will work collaboratively with each person to test ideas and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. That can mean mixing attachment-focused conversation with ACT exercises or CBT skill work so the plan fits the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets therapists and clients see nonverbal cues and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework prompts, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for work schedules, caregiving duties, or when travel is difficult.
