About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, parenting pressures, and relationship struggles. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them and find practical next steps.
Her approach centers on the person, not a diagnosis. She combines client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods to build skills and process painful memories.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, small changes, and practical coping strategies that fit daily life. Jennifer trained in mental health counseling at the University of Wisconsin–Stout and has additional coursework in infant, early childhood, and family mental health from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
She has worked in community mental health and adolescent residential care, and she consults with the Wisconsin Association of Infant Mental Health. In therapy she uses attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, and EMDR when appropriate. Those methods are woven into conversations, skill practice, and paced processing of difficult events.
Outside of work she is a parent, trains for road and trail relay races, practices yoga, plays viola, and enjoys reading and crafting. She encourages small, intentional steps toward change and supports people at their own pace.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotions, and it helps people name patterns that affect daily life and parenting. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration, giving people space to set their own goals while the therapist reflects and supports. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and then teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and ease symptoms.Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and personal preferences. Then she tailors methods and pacing so the work fits the client’s needs and energy level, adjusting as things change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing tracking between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into family life, work breaks, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on steady, usable progress.
