Jamila Hadden , LPCC

Jamila Hadden is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Kentucky with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses related issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, communication challenges, substance concerns, family and blended family issues, intellectual or developmental differences, isolation and loneliness, and first responder stress.

Jamila blends Client-Centered methods with practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and skills-based approaches to help clients build coping tools, increase motivation, and regain confidence. Her background includes work supporting people affected by trauma, those struggling with motivation or attention, and individuals navigating grief or relationship difficulties. Jamila adapts treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique history, strengths, and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Respect, sensitivity, and compassion guide her work. Jamila emphasizes a collaborative process that honors the courage it takes to seek change and focuses on empowering clients to move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. She aims to create a supportive environment where clients can develop skills, explore underlying patterns, and pursue meaningful growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jamila Hadden uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and can help people who need support building trust, exploring personal values, or increasing self-understanding.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and motivation challenges. When appropriate, Jamila draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that support coping during intense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jamila works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals when helpful to tailor methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit care into busy lives. Jamila provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that feels most accessible. These options make it easier to maintain consistent support, practice new skills between sessions, and engage in therapy from a location that works best for each person.
