About Jamila
Jamila Hadden is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and respectful, and she aims to meet people where they are. Jamila uses a mix of methods to shape conversations and goals.
She draws on client-centered techniques to listen closely and prioritize each person’s experience. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to identify unhelpful thinking and build clearer habits.
The Gottman Method informs how she addresses communication and relational patterns when those issues come up. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills to help manage intense emotions and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck.
Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps that fit into daily life. Jamila works to make plans realistic and measurable.
Her practice includes attention to specific concerns such as abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, substance use, family of origin problems, first responder stress, isolation, and intellectual disability. She adapts language and pacing to each person’s needs.
Jamila emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion during the work. She partners with people to set goals and adjust plans as progress is made.
The aim is to help clients feel steadier and more capable over time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jamila combines a few clear methods to shape online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication patterns and managing conflict in relationships by teaching concrete conversation skills and repair techniques. Client-centered therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the person’s experience, with the therapist listening closely and following the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and build healthier habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jamila works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video visits are useful for face-to-face conversation and practice exercises, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat sessions allow quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or homework between appointments. These options make it simpler to schedule regular sessions and keep momentum between meetings.
