About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with more than 26 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, codependency, grief, and relationship struggles. Her approach emphasizes treating the whole person rather than focusing only on diagnoses, and she aims to make people feel supported and empowered to make lasting changes.
Jennifer uses practical, personal conversation to help clients move forward. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She blends evidence-informed strategies with attention to attachment and family dynamics so people can repair relationships and build new skills.
Her background includes work in inpatient residential care for adolescents and community mental health settings. She also consults with the Wisconsin Association for Infant Mental Health and has focused training related to infants, early childhood, and family mental health from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Jennifer holds a Master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of Wisconsin–Stout and lists experience with approaches such as attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. She values steady, small steps and encourages practical practices like yoga and reflective exercises when appropriate.
Outside of clinical work she is a parent, trains for RAGNAR races, practices yoga, plays viola, and enjoys reading and crafts. Jennifer believes change happens through intentional daily choices and looks to partner with people ready to take those steps.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. It helps people understand relationship triggers and learn new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, works with distressing memories by using guided processing to reduce the hold those memories have on current life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals and try approaches that match those goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include blending methods or adjusting pace based on how each person responds.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins between other activities. Some formats may also use less bandwidth or avoid video when that helps a person focus. Talk with the therapist during scheduling about what will work best for your routine and needs.
