About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickersham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, changes at work, or life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps people can use right away.
She works in a person-centered way, building an honest therapeutic relationship and listening first. Jennifer also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That can lead to clearer choices and simpler coping tools to try between sessions.
Her experience spans more than 21 years and includes work with adults, adolescents, and people handling family challenges. She has helped with a wide range of concerns such as depression, trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, ADHD, and burnout from caregiving.
In sessions she focuses on achievable goals and on strategies people can practice at home. That might include reframing unhelpful thoughts, testing small changes, or learning calming skills. The process is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Jennifer also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness to support emotional awareness and regulation. She encourages people to notice patterns, try new responses, and track what does and does not work.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jennifer commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a genuine, respectful relationship and listening carefully to what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and then try practical changes to break unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. That collaborative decision-making means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made or goals shift.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow regular check-ins during a workday or between responsibilities. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday environment and bring real situations into discussion during sessions.
