Jennifer Wickham , LPC

Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 26 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, children, parents, and families through life transitions and healing from trauma. She brings a whole-person perspective to care, focusing on the person rather than a diagnosis and helping clients identify practical, sustainable steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Jennifer 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 background includes work in inpatient residential treatment for adolescents, community mental health settings, and consultation with the Wisconsin Association for Infant Mental Health (WI-AIMH). She is trained in a range of evidence-informed approaches, including 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.

Known for creating a nonjudgmental, supportive environment, she works collaboratively with clients to discover strengths, build coping skills, and foster lasting change. Her specialties include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and infant-family concerns, grief, relationship issues, ADHD, bipolar mood management, and challenges faced by LGBTQ clients. Outside of practice, Jennifer is a parent, trains for RAGNAR road and trail races, practices yoga, plays the viola, and enjoys reading and crafting. She emphasizes gradual, intentional steps toward growth and approaches psychotherapy as a partnership focused on the client’s goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer Wickham integrates several proven approaches to meet different needs and goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape emotional patterns and focuses on strengthening bonds between parents and children or repairing attachment wounds in adults - this approach can be especially helpful for adoption, foster care, attachment issues, and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skill-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with life changes.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports people in processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. It can be a helpful option for those recovering from abuse, accidents, or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists tailor interventions over time, combining strategies as needed to support meaningful progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access therapeutic support from home or another comfortable setting.
