About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with more than two decades of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and adoption and foster care concerns. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps people can try between meetings. Jennifer draws on helped strategies from cognitive and mindfulness-based methods while listening closely to each person’s story. She encourages work at the client’s own pace and keeps language direct and clear so busy parents can follow along.
Jennifer trained at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and holds a master’s degree in mental health counseling. She has experience in community mental health and inpatient adolescent treatment. She also consults with the Wisconsin Association of Infant Mental Health and has additional preparation in early childhood and family mental health.
In therapy she mixes approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-focused ideas to look at relationships, cognitive tools to shift unhelpful patterns, and trauma-informed techniques when past hurts are getting in the way. Practical skills like grounding, emotion regulation, and communication work are commonly part of sessions.
When she is not counseling, Jennifer is a parent, trains for road or trail races, practices yoga, plays viola, and makes time for reading and crafting. She believes steady progress comes from small intentional steps and partners with clients to find a path forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit family life
Jennifer uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, which can help with parenting, attachment issues, and relationship struggles. Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach where the person leads the pace and topics while the therapist listens and reflects to help clarify goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for noticing and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, since meetings may be more convenient around work, school, or childcare. Remote sessions also let people avoid travel time and can support regular check-ins during difficult periods. Jennifer will discuss which approach and format are most practical and helpful for each person during the initial conversation.
