About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickersham, LPC helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, or trauma. She works with individuals dealing with sleep problems, parenting challenges, ADHD, and issues like codependency and self-esteem. She brings 21 years of clinical experience and stays practical in sessions so people can take steps forward.
Jennifer is person-centered and focuses on building an honest, respectful working relationship. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. That often leads to simple tools for managing intense emotions and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns.
Her approach also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and improve connection. Mindfulness strategies are used to anchor attention, reduce reactivity, and support coping during stressful times. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.
She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a range of concerns, and has provided clinical assessments to guide treatment choices. Jennifer emphasizes least restrictive interventions and a solution-oriented focus so goals stay clear and achievable.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused, with concrete coping techniques and opportunities to practice new ways of responding. People are encouraged to bring specific problems to work on, from communication and boundary issues to coping with life changes and caregiver stress. Progress is measured by the small, practical steps people can use between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, accepting relationship where the client sets the pace and goals; the therapist listens deeply and reflects back what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions using CBT tend to include clear skills, thought records, and behavioral experiments that people can practice between meetings to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and then change unhelpful interaction patterns. It can be useful for improving communication and understanding why certain relationship responses repeat.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and personal preferences rather than using one fixed style. That collaborative planning helps shape session content and homework tasks.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, shorten travel time, allow a quieter check-in during a lunch break, or avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into real life while keeping the focus on goal-oriented progress.
