About Jamila
Jamila Hadden is a Kentucky LPCC with 13 years of professional experience supporting adults with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and depression. She also addresses related issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver strain, codependency, substance concerns, family of origin problems, first responder issues, isolation, intellectual disability, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Jamila focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She uses dialog and evidence-informed methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions are aimed at clear goals and small, manageable changes rather than vague promises.
Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior tools, among other methods. That mix helps with managing difficult emotions, improving day-to-day coping, and addressing how past experiences affect present choices. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas come in when people want momentum toward a specific change.
Jamila adapts what she does to each person’s situation. She listens for what matters most and then suggests exercises, thought work, or behavior changes that fit daily life. Conversations can include skills practice, problem solving, and reflection on how relationships and background shape current feelings.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Anyone considering a first session is asked to use the site process to match and schedule the initial appointment.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful working relationship. In practice this means conversations focused on what matters most to the client and using their goals to guide each session.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves noticing thought patterns and testing small changes in thinking and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, guilt, and shame by creating concrete exercises and home practice.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be useful when strong shame or persistent self-criticism make everyday functioning harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. That decision is collaborative and may change over time.
