Jennifer Wickersham

Jennifer Wickersham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who focuses on helping people manage trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She brings 21 years of experience to sessions and aims to create a calm, practical space where clients can work toward clear goals.

She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered methods to prioritize what each person needs. Jennifer also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts and feelings shape behavior, then practice small changes that add up.

Jennifer has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, and challenges related to sexuality and identity. She also supports people facing career strain, caregiving burdens, and life transitions. Her background includes clinical assessments to guide treatment choices and match interventions to specific needs.

Sessions are grounded in a genuine, respectful relationship. Jennifer aims for solution-focused goals and practical coping strategies rather than long lists of techniques. She emphasizes cognitive reshaping and coping skills that people can use between visits.

If someone prefers talking through issues remotely, Jennifer notes that online and phone sessions can be effective tools. To begin, people are encouraged to use the site's Start Therapy process to share basic information and schedule an initial visit with her.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on safe, paced ways to address traumatic memories and reactions. In practice this means working slowly to build coping skills, reduce distress, and make sense of difficult events so daily life feels more manageable.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in the room. The therapist listens with respect and follows each person's pace and priorities, helping people talk through what matters and choose their next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online sessions often include techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior experiments, and practice new coping skills between visits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single path.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from wherever is most convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote visits to focus on practical tools and steady progress.
