Jennifer Wickham , LPC

Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of experience providing direct care to infants, children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families. She has worked in a variety of clinical 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 completed a master’s degree in mental health counseling at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and pursued 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.

Wickham emphasizes a whole-life approach that centers the person rather than a diagnosis, aiming to create a nonjudgmental environment that welcomes diverse backgrounds. Her work is collaborative in nature, focusing on clients' strengths and practical, sustainable steps toward change. She supports individuals and families as they work through stress, trauma, relationship and parenting challenges, grief, mood concerns, and issues related to attachment and family dynamics.

Outside of her clinical work she is a parent of a teenager and pursues activities that mirror the reflective practices she uses in therapy - training for RAGNAR road and trail races, practicing yoga, playing the viola, reading, crafting, and continuing professional learning. She encourages steady, intentional progress and partners with clients to discover strengths and build the life they want while addressing past challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer Wickham draws on attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps clients understand connection, separation, and family dynamics and is often useful for parenting, adoption, and attachment concerns. She also uses client-centered therapy, which creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and focus of treatment while the therapist reflects and supports growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another key approach, offering practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains a shared effort.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow clients to connect from home or during busy schedules. These options make it easier to attend regularly, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of geographic constraints.
