About Jennifer
Jennifer Roney is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Mental Health Services Provider designation (LPC, LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee.

She brings 11 years of professional counseling experience to sessions. Jennifer draws on several approaches that fit different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy.
Background and approach
She listens first, then works with each person to build a plan that matches their goals and pace. In sessions she helps people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and practices new ways of responding. That might mean learning skills to calm intense emotions, shifting unhelpful thoughts, or strengthening relationships through clearer communication.
Jennifer also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction, caregiving stress, and challenges around identity and intimacy. Her background includes extensive work in community mental health settings where she provided individual and group care. Jennifer has experience with a wide range of concerns, from sleep problems and ADHD to bipolar symptoms and chronic illness.
She favors methods that teach practical skills and build long-term coping ability. People who choose her often want clear, usable tools and a steady, collaborative approach. She helps clients set realistic steps and track small changes that add up over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that reflect their values. This can be useful for managing anger, anxiety, and life changes by focusing on what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and responses. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and coping with stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and behavior. It can help people improve connection, communication, and emotional regulation in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help fit counseling into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
