About Jennifer

Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with more than two decades of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, grief, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar.

Background and approach

She brings a broad focus that also includes ADHD, compassion fatigue, self-esteem work, and family-related issues like attachment, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and communication problems. Jennifer emphasizes helping clients navigate life changes and complex emotional patterns while honoring their individual stories.

Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a client-centered stance that affirms each person’s strengths and goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside therapies that address attachment wounds, trauma processing, and emotion regulation such as EMDR and DBT.

Her background includes training in infant and early childhood mental health and experience in residential and community mental health settings, which informs her work with parents, children, adolescents, and adults. Outside of clinical work she practices yoga, runs races, plays viola, and models incremental growth through steady, intentional steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Jennifer often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores early relational patterns and how they shape current relationships and emotional responses. Both approaches focus on practical ways to build healthier coping skills and relationships. When trauma is a central concern, techniques such as EMDR may be used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferences, then adapts methods so treatment feels relevant and manageable rather than prescriptive. Clients are invited to provide feedback so the work can be adjusted over time to improve fit and effectiveness.

Online therapy offers flexible access to these methods through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments and allow clients to use different communication styles as therapy progresses. Licensed professionals can deliver structured interventions, skills coaching, and reflective support across these options to help clients move toward meaningful change.
