Jennifer Wickham, LPC

Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience supporting infants, children, adolescents, young adults, parents, and families. She has provided direct care in settings that include an inpatient residential treatment center for adolescents and a community mental health clinic, and she also contributes as a consultant for the Wisconsin Association for Infant Mental Health (WI-AIMH).

Jennifer earned a Master of Science in mental health counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout in 1999 and has additional specialized training through 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.

Her approach emphasizes a whole-life perspective that attends to the person rather than a diagnostic label. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment that welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and supports lasting change through practical, intentional steps. Jennifer describes psychotherapy as a collaborative process in which strengths are discovered and new skills are cultivated at a pace that fits each individual or family.

Outside of clinical work she is a parent of a teenager and maintains an active life that includes training for RAGNAR road or trail races, practicing yoga, playing the viola, reading, crafting, and ongoing learning. She offers appointments on weekday evenings and weekend mornings and evenings in Central Standard Time and looks forward to partnering with people who are ready to take steps toward meaningful change.

Jennifer integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her work and brings those methods into remote sessions to address a range of concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early bonding patterns - it helps parents, caregivers, and individuals understand how attachment influences current behavior and emotional connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own experience, offering empathic listening and support so clients can explore values, build self-awareness, and find their own path forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with each person or family to identify goals, try techniques that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time so the work matches preferences and life circumstances.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone meetings, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These formats make it easier to arrange appointments during weekday evenings or weekend times when needed, and they allow licensed professionals to provide therapeutic support across different modes of communication to suit individual comfort and access preferences.
