Jennifer Wickham, LPC

Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with over 26 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, trauma, relationship strain, grief, anger, and struggles with self-esteem or ADHD. She also supports those managing compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, and major life changes. Her work includes attention to family and attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and parenting concerns such as fatherhood issues.

Jennifer keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first and then helps people notice thought patterns and everyday habits that get in the way. Treatment draws on approaches that focus on relationships, present experience, and skills for handling strong emotions. Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative; she aims to help each person find steps they can use between sessions.

Her background includes work in inpatient residential treatment for adolescents and community mental health settings. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stout with a master’s degree in mental health counseling and has additional training from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in infant, early childhood, and family mental health. Jennifer also consults with the Wisconsin Association of Infant Mental Health.

Clinically, she uses Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavior approaches, and she offers EMDR for trauma work. She incorporates reflective practices such as yoga and meditation into therapy when helpful. Outside of work she is a parent, trains for RAGNAR races, plays viola, and enjoys reading and crafting.

Jennifer encourages a whole-life view rather than focusing only on diagnoses. She works at a pace that fits each person, helping them notice strengths and take small intentional steps toward change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns that began in early relationships and try new ways of relating in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals and experience first, with the therapist offering acceptance and gentle guidance so the client can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean practicing emotion-regulation skills one week, and doing attachment-focused conversations the next. The plan changes as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during evenings or mornings. It also lets people use shorter check-ins, avoid video when needed, or schedule sessions around school and work. Licensed professionals tailor online session pacing and activities so the work fits into everyday routines without promising a particular format.
