Jennifer WickhamLPC

Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who supports people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also helps those dealing with ADHD, self-esteem struggles, anger, and compassion fatigue. Jennifer brings practical, patient care to conversations about pregnancy and childbirth when those topics come up.

She uses simple, steady methods in sessions. Jennifer listens first and helps clients figure out goals that fit their life. She draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at early relationships, client-centered approaches that follow the person's lead, and evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral work and elements of dialectical behavior therapy.

Jennifer trained at the University of Wisconsin-Stout where she earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling. She has long experience in community mental health and worked in adolescent residential treatment. She also consults for the Wisconsin Association of Infant Mental Health and has coursework from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in infant, early childhood, and family mental health.

In session she aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space. Jennifer focuses on the whole person rather than a diagnosis. Expect practical steps, reflective work, and options like mindfulness, movement, or paced skills practice when helpful.

Outside of work she balances family life, endurance running, yoga, and playing the viola. Jennifer emphasizes small, steady changes and partners with clients to build lasting progress.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jennifer often uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand connection, caregiving roles, and parenting stresses by tracing how past bonds affect present reactions.

She also uses client-centered methods that keep the person’s priorities in focus. Sessions follow what matters most to the client, with the therapist offering reflections and support rather than directing every step. Cognitive behavioral therapy is part of her toolkit too, with clear steps to notice thoughts, test assumptions, and try new behaviors for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss options and help decide what fits based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, allow evening or weekend appointments, and offer quieter surroundings when scheduling permits. Some people prefer fewer visual demands or shorter check-ins, and online sessions can accommodate those needs when available.
