About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickham, LPC, offers calm, practical support for people facing stress and anxiety. She explains things plainly and helps clients take small steps toward feeling better. Sessions focus on what matters now and on skills that can be used between meetings.
Jennifer uses a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are. She listens first, then teaches coping tools drawn from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior methods. She also draws on attachment ideas and trauma-focused work when past hurts affect current life.
Background and approach
Her practice reflects more than two decades of experience in community mental health and residential treatment settings. Jennifer earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and completed further training in infant, early childhood, and family mental health at the University of Wisconsin Madison.
Her work often includes helping with parenting stress, relationship concerns, grief, mood challenges, ADHD, and recovery from abuse or trauma. She also supports people dealing with identity questions, abandonment and attachment issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver strain. Jennifer aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered.
She encourages a steady pace of change and mixes practical skill-building with conversations about values and goals. Outside of work she is a parent, practices yoga, plays viola, and stays active with running and reading.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to help people notice and change familiar ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. It suits anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete tools people can practice between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, addresses distress from traumatic memories through structured processing techniques adapted for remote use when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work together with each client to decide what fits best. That choice is based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences, and it can shift as therapy progresses. The aim is a collaborative plan that feels sensible and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions remove the need for video and can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
