About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting strains, family problems, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, grief, anger, and self-esteem issues. She also lists ADHD, bipolar concerns, and LGBT issues among her areas of focus.
Jennifer uses practical, conversational work in sessions. She often draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral tools to address patterns that show up in daily life. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related concerns and DBT skills for strong emotions and difficulty regulating responses.
Her background includes work in inpatient residential treatment for adolescents and community mental health settings. Jennifer has training in infant, early childhood, and family mental health from the University of Wisconsin Madison and has served as a consultant for the Wisconsin Association of Infant Mental Health. She completed a master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and doable steps. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what helps at home and in relationships. Parents and other adults can expect practical coping skills, communication strategies, and approaches for managing stress and grief.
Outside of practice she is a parent and stays active with running, yoga, viola, and crafts. She describes change as a series of small, intentional steps and works with people at a pace that fits their life. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches you may use in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect and react now. Online work with attachment ideas focuses on recognizing patterns in family and parenting relationships and practicing new ways to relate.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts, and practicing small behavior changes that reduce stress and anxiety at home.
EMDR is a method offered for processing trauma memories and the emotions tied to them. In an online setting this can include guided eye movement or other bilateral stimulation options adapted for remote sessions to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as the work progresses so adjustments can be made together.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time to an office. They also let people use approaches like skill practice, behavioral experiments, and trauma processing from wherever they are located, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
