Jennifer Ladd, LPC

Jennifer Ladd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma, ADHD, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use to manage emotions and handle conflicts that come up at home or work.

Her approach is conversational and interactive. She listens for what lies behind symptoms - the patterns and feelings that drive reactions. Jennifer uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotional regulation. She also brings attachment-informed perspectives to understand how past relationships affect present behavior.

Jennifer has provided both individual and group counseling. Her background includes work with people who have experienced childhood trauma and PTSD, and she has training in trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods. She draws on a mix of therapies to match the problem at hand rather than following a single rigid method.

In sessions she combines active listening with practical exercises. Expect to talk through recent conflicts, try skill-based strategies, and experiment with new ways of reacting between sessions. The focus is on small, usable changes that reduce anger, improve communication, and lower stress.

She supports people who are dealing with addiction issues, body image and eating concerns, intimacy-related problems, chronic health stress, and codependency patterns. Jennifer also works with clients exploring identity and relationship concerns within LGBT contexts. Her work aims to make daily life feel more manageable and relationships less reactive.
