About Jamila
Jamila Hadden is an LPCC licensed in Kentucky with 13 years of clinical experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Jamila aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients feel heard and understood.
She uses a mix of approaches to tailor each plan to the person in front of her. That means conversations that center the client's goals, plus tools drawn from CBT to track thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change and DBT skills when emotion regulation becomes a focus.
Jamila has worked with people facing depression, relationship problems tied to family of origin issues, and the stresses that come with caregiving or frontline jobs. She also helps with concerns such as substance use, codependency, isolation, and difficulties tied to intellectual disability or autism spectrum differences. Her background includes supporting people coping with domestic violence, abandonment, and guilt or shame.
Sessions are shaped to the individual's needs and preferences. Jamila emphasizes collaboration - she and the client set goals and adjust the plan as needed. The therapist encourages small, achievable steps that build confidence and momentum.
To begin, Jamila asks about what matters most to the client and then recommends strategies from her toolkit. The aim is steady progress and skills people can use in their day-to-day life, not quick fixes or one-size-fits-all answers.

How Motivational Interviewing and CBT translate to online care
Jamila uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and build motivation in a step-by-step way. This approach focuses on listening, exploring ambivalence, and supporting choices that match a person's values and goals.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and building everyday coping skills.
Finding the right style is part of the work. Jamila approaches therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit each person based on their needs and goals. Together they set practical objectives and adjust techniques over time.
