About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, grief, depression, relationship struggles, and identity questions. Her approach aims to make emotional work feel doable and clear for worried parents and individuals.
She combines practical tools with attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions focus on real-life goals like better communication, coping skills for anger or overwhelm, and steadier moods when bipolar or ADHD symptoms interfere.
How Jennifer works
Jennifer uses techniques drawn from attachment work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical skills, and EMDR when trauma memories are involved. Jennifer emphasizes a person-focused way of working rather than only labelling problems. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and can try small changes.
Progress is paced to the client's comfort, with an emphasis on skills that can be practiced between sessions. Her background includes training in infant, early childhood, and family mental health, plus experience in residential treatment and community clinics. That foundation supports work with a wide range of concerns, including caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment difficulties.
Outside of counseling she is a parent, runs road and trail races, practices yoga, and plays the viola. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages steady, intentional steps toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Jennifer uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people understand connection, boundaries, and how family history shows up in daily life. Client-centered therapy is also part of her work - it focuses on listening closely and guiding conversations around each person's values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change over time as progress is made or new issues come up, and clients help set the pace and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits better into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to use brief coaching and reminders. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and daily life while using the clinician's chosen approaches.
