About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer Todd is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, and work-related challenges. She frames therapy as a practical partnership and focuses on building motivation, confidence, and coping skills. Her manner is straightforward and supportive for people who are ready to try something different.
With 24 years of experience, Dr. Todd draws on several well-known therapeutic approaches. She centers sessions on the person's goals and strengths, and uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also incorporates emotionally focused work to strengthen understanding of feelings and relational patterns.
Clients can expect conversations that stay grounded in day-to-day concerns. Sessions often include practical exercises, short skill-building tasks, and coaching-style guidance for career and life decisions. The work is aimed at change that fits each person's real life, not abstract theory.
Dr. Todd also addresses deeper themes like grief, trauma, attachment wounds, and adoption and foster care matters when those come up. She pays attention to stress that accumulates from caregiving, professional pressure, or long-term health concerns. Her approach balances short-term problem solving with attention to meaning and values.
Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Alabama. People who prefer a therapist who combines direct coaching with empathic listening may find her approach helpful when navigating big life changes and everyday struggles.
Practical approaches for online work and therapy style
Dr. Todd commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as part of her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people make choices that match their values. It is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful habits; it is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.She also draws on emotionally-focused techniques to help people name and process feelings and to recognize patterns that affect relationships and self-understanding. Choosing the right approach is a team effort - the therapist and client will talk through goals, try small experiments, and adjust methods based on what feels helpful. That collaborative process is part of the early sessions.
