About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickersham is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 21 years of experience. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what is most worrying you. Many people come to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and ADHD-related challenges.
She uses a person-centered way of working, which means she focuses on building a genuine, respectful relationship first. That helps people feel heard and able to name realistic, step-by-step goals.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and learn practical coping strategies. Jennifer offers therapy in formats that fit modern life, such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She believes less restrictive approaches can still lead to meaningful progress and adapts methods to each person’s pace and needs.
Her practice includes support for a wide range of concerns, including grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses complex family-of-origin issues and blended family dynamics while helping individuals navigate life changes. Based in Missouri, Jennifer combines straightforward tools with empathic listening.
Sessions are aimed at building skills people can use between visits, such as cognitive reframing, grounding, and communication exercises. She works with each person to set achievable steps toward their goals.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Jennifer often blends person-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies. Person-centered work focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening closely to what matters most to the client, which helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Cognitive behavioral work teaches practical exercises to notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts, and to develop coping skills for anxiety, mood, and ADHD-related struggles.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest an approach or combination that fits. If an approach does not feel helpful, it can be adjusted so the work stays relevant and doable for you.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for exercises and feedback. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to keep momentum between sessions. These options help people maintain consistent care around work, school, and family obligations.
