About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer Todd is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Alabama with 24 years of experience helping adults handle stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, parenting strain, and anger. She also works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating issues, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are built around practical help and steady conversation rather than jargon.

She frames clients as experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. That means listening first, then offering ways to change patterns that cause ongoing frustration. Practical skills from cognitive approaches are mixed with attention to feelings and relational patterns when useful.

Dr. Todd uses client-centered methods to focus on what matters to the individual. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to replace them with clearer choices. Emotionally-focused work is used when relationship patterns and connection issues are part of the problem.

Her style favors clear goals and step-by-step work. That can mean short skill practices, homework between sessions, or focused conversations about specific incidents that trigger anger or anxiety. She also includes mindfulness tools for managing intense moments and for improving sleep and focus.

People who come for help often want less reactivity, better communication, or more control over impulses that lead to regret. Dr. Todd combines practical strategies with attention to how emotions and relationships shape behavior. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps the person clarify what matters most, which is useful when anger arises from unmet needs or repeated conflicts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active. It uses practical exercises and small behavioral changes to reduce reactivity and improve decision-making under stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in relationships and how emotional responses keep repeating. It helps people recognize triggers and shift interactions that escalate into anger.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify needs, set goals, and choose techniques that fit their priorities and daily life. This may change as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. If a quieter setting, less bandwidth, or avoiding video makes sessions more workable, those practical factors can guide how appointments are arranged.
