About Jennifer
Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, mood conditions, anxiety, and addictions. She also supports people dealing with attention differences, body image and intimacy-related concerns. Jennifer writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard from the start.
Her style is warm, conversational, and interactive. Sessions combine careful listening with gentle curiosity to uncover emotions behind symptoms.
Background and approach
She focuses on everyday language and practical steps people can try between sessions. Jennifer draws on somatic ideas alongside cognitive and acceptance-focused tools. That means she pays attention to how the body holds stress while using thoughts-and-action strategies to change patterns.
She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen connection and self-understanding. She has worked in individual and group formats and brings 13 years of experience as a clinician. Her license number is TN LPC 2431 and she practices from Tennessee.
Jennifer has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, bipolar disorder, eating and sleep problems, chronic pain, dissociation, and communication or intimacy difficulties. People who prefer online options can meet by video or phone or use text-based messaging and live chat.
Starting is straightforward: choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits your calendar. Jennifer aims to help each person find practical ways to feel steadier, clearer, and more in charge of their next steps.
Approaches and how online therapy supports them
Somatic-informed work focuses on how the body holds stress and emotion. In sessions this can mean noticing breath, posture, tension, and simple body-based exercises to help people feel less stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they affect current connections. Jennifer uses this to help people improve communication, feel safer in relationships, and understand recurring struggles. She combines these approaches with client-centered listening to tailor each plan to the individual's needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate on what tools to try and adjust methods based on your goals and responses. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try short check-ins, or combine longer video work with messaging between sessions for continued support.
