About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people handle stress, anger, anxiety, parenting strains, grief, and trauma. Jennifer works with adults and young people on relationship and family concerns, depression, ADHD, and issues around identity and self-esteem.
She favors a practical, person-first style. Sessions focus on what’s happening now and on small steps a person can try between meetings. Jennifer uses calm listening, clear feedback, and skills coaching to help people manage emotions and respond differently in tense moments.
Background and approach
Her training includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of Wisconsin–Stout and additional work in infant, early childhood, and family mental health at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She has experience in community mental health and inpatient adolescent residential care, and she consults for the Wisconsin Association for Infant Mental Health.
Therapy draws on methods such as attachment-based work, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior therapy skills, and EMDR for trauma processing. In sessions she mixes skills practice, reflective conversation, and targeted interventions to address symptoms and everyday challenges. Outside of practice she is a parent, trains for RAGNAR races, practices yoga, plays viola, and enjoys reading and crafting.
Jennifer encourages steady, intentional steps toward change and partners with people to identify strengths and workable goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape a person’s ways of connecting. Online sessions use that lens to notice relationship patterns and build new ways to relate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete tools for changing unhelpful patterns and managing symptoms like anxiety and anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will try methods that fit the situation. That planning is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people see facial cues and practice new responses in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a headset is easier. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, skill coaching, and more frequent touchpoints between meetings. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches like CBT or attachment work in practical, everyday ways.
