About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, family issues, grief, relationship struggles, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. She also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges faced by people in LGBT communities. Family of origin issues are part of her focus when early family roles and expectations continue to affect present life.
She uses practical, talk-based therapy alongside evidence-informed methods. Sessions often look at how attachment patterns and family history shape current relationships and behaviors. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy are used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
Jennifer brings experience from inpatient adolescent residential care and community mental health settings. She consults for the Wisconsin Association for Infant Mental Health and has training in infant, early childhood, and family mental health. Her background includes work with parents, infants, children, adolescents, young adults, and adults.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical steps. She helps people recognize patterns that came from their family of origin and practice different ways of relating. Sessions include reflective work and skills practice, and may draw on mindfulness, EMDR, or parent-child focused methods where appropriate.
Outside of practice she is a parent, runs, does yoga, plays viola, and crafts. She encourages small, intentional steps toward change and partners with clients at a pace that fits their life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early caregiver relationships shaped expectations for closeness and trust. Online sessions can be used to talk through these patterns and practice different ways of relating to partners, children, or oneself. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying out new strategies. In an online appointment this often means setting small practice tasks between sessions and reviewing results together. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing distressing memories and reactions; when EMDR is appropriate it is adapted to fit verbal and movement-based techniques in remote sessions.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on how things are going. Clients are invited to raise preferences about pacing, skills work, or memory-focused methods so the plan reflects their comfort and objectives.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have appointments outside standard hours or during school and work breaks. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. The focus remains on making therapeutic work fit into everyday life while using attachment, CBT, or EMDR approaches where helpful.
