About Jennifer Wickham
Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience working with new parents and infants, children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families. She has provided direct care in a variety of settings, including an inpatient residential treatment center for adolescents and a community mental health clinic, and serves as a consultant for the Wisconsin Association of Infant Mental Health (WI-AIMH).
She earned a Master of Science in mental health counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout in 1999 and completed specialized training at the University of Wisconsin Madison in infant, early childhood, and family mental health. Her clinical training includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), child-parent psychotherapy (CPP), and reflective practices such as yoga and meditation, which she integrates as appropriate to meet each person's needs.
Jennifer emphasizes a whole-life approach that attends to the person rather than a diagnosis. She works to create a nonjudgmental, welcoming space for people from diverse backgrounds and partners with clients to build safety, strengthen coping, and support lasting change. She describes psychotherapy as a collaborative process that proceeds at each client's pace, helping to uncover strengths and foster new capacities.
Outside of clinical work she is a parent of a teenager and pursues activities that mirror her therapeutic values, including training for RAGNAR road or trail races, practicing yoga, playing the viola, and engaging in reading, learning, and crafting. Jennifer models gradual, intentional steps toward growth and supports clients in taking those steps toward the life they want to build.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Jennifer integrates attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape emotional needs and relational patterns - this approach can help with parenting, family dynamics, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues by strengthening connection and understanding. She also uses client-centered therapy, which prioritizes the client's perspective and supports growth through empathy, acceptance, and collaborative goal-setting, making it useful for stress, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another key approach she employs to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Jennifer collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing family, work, or other obligations. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, support consistent attendance, and provide multiple ways to communicate so therapy can fit into each person's life.
