Jennifer Wickham , LPC

Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of experience delivering direct care to new parents and infants, children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families. She has practiced in a variety of 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 earned a Master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout in 1999 and completed specialized training at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in infant, early childhood, and family mental health. Her clinical training includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (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 credential LPC denotes Licensed Professional Counselor, a license to practice counseling in Wisconsin.

Jennifer takes a whole-life approach that emphasizes the person rather than a diagnosis, striving to create a nonjudgmental, supportive space where people from diverse backgrounds can feel heard and empowered to make lasting changes. She frames psychotherapy as a collaborative process that explores strengths and builds practical skills at the client’s pace.

Outside of clinical work she is a parent of a teenager, trains for RAGNAR road and trail races, practices yoga, plays the viola, reads, crafts, and continues learning. She encourages small intentional steps toward change and offers appointment times on weekday evenings and weekend mornings and evenings in Central Standard Time.

Attachment and CBT-informed Online Care

Jennifer integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early patterns of connection, which can be helpful for parenting, attachment challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect for each person’s experience, offering a supportive environment for exploring identity, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with each person to determine which strategies best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and reduce travel barriers. These options support continuity of care and flexible scheduling with licensed professionals and therapists, allowing clients to access consistent support from locations that work for them.
