Evidence-Based Tools, Delivered Online
Jennifer Ladd integrates practical, skill-building therapy with a warm, interactive style that translates well to online sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by turning insight into clear, doable steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. It can be especially helpful when feelings become intense or overwhelming, or when relationships feel reactive and hard to navigate.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and emotions while moving toward what matters most. It supports building a values-based life, even when anxiety, grief, or trauma-related reactions show up along the way.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer collaborates with each client to clarify goals, preferences, and pacing, and then tailors strategies to fit what is most useful in the moment.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a format that works for everyday life.
