About Jamila
Jamila Hadden is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 13 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate stance, shaping conversations and care plans to fit each person's circumstances and goals.
Background and approach
Her practice also addresses related challenges such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication difficulties, substance concerns, and isolation. Jamila centers the therapeutic relationship on collaboration and empowerment, encouraging clients to take the steps toward a more fulfilling life while providing steady support.
Her work draws on practical, evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and skills-based approaches to help clients build coping skills, improve motivation, and process loss or trauma. She accepts clients across locations, offers multiple ways to connect, and tailors pacing and techniques to individual needs.
Applying practical therapy approaches in online care
Jamila commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and build concrete behavioral strategies for reducing anxiety, managing low mood, and addressing stress. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and participate actively in shaping their goals and pace of work. When emotional regulation or interpersonal skills are a focus, she may incorporate elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach grounding, distress tolerance, and communication techniques.Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. Jamila works with each person to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. This helps ensure that therapeutic work feels relevant and practical for everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations, while still allowing for skill practice, reflective conversations, and structured therapeutic exercises.
