About Jennifer

Jennifer Roney is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC and LPC-MHSP in Tennessee with 11 years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions, and she also supports concerns such as parenting, relationships, grief, sleep problems, and ADHD.

Jennifer uses clear, problem-focused methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to break down troubling thoughts and patterns. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect emotion and behavior.

She has a background in community mental health and has worked with a wide range of concerns over time. Her experience includes addressing trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. She has supported people who face chronic pain, caregiving stress, and identity or intimacy-related questions.

In practice she blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, DBT skills, and client-centered techniques to match what a person needs in session. That can mean learning coping skills, practicing new ways of communicating, or pacing work on difficult memories.

Sessions focus on concrete steps a person can take between meetings. Jennifer emphasizes manageable changes and practical tools people can try in everyday life. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site prompts to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action consistent with those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without being led by them. It often helps with anxiety, avoidance, and problems tied to low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships shape emotion and behavior and can help when past relationship patterns affect current closeness or communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust strategies if something is not helping. The focus is on building skills and small changes that make day-to-day life easier.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or schooling, and they can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow for shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations if video is difficult. Ask about specific session types during the matching process so the session setup fits the person's routine.
