About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickersham, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on common and complex concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family issues, and stress. She also addresses attention differences, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and blended family issues alongside other topics like parenting and career stress.
Jenn uses a person-centered stance in sessions. She aims to build a genuine therapeutic relationship and help clients set practical, solution-focused goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and to teach coping strategies that people can apply between sessions.
Her approach often combines clear skills training with reflective conversation. Clients practice techniques for managing panic, restructuring unhelpful thinking, and improving communication. Mindfulness tools come into play when calming the nervous system and reducing reactivity is needed.
Jennifer has worked with people across life stages and has experience doing clinical assessments to guide intervention choices. She favors least-restrictive options when possible and has used phone and online sessions as part of her practice.
People coming from blended households or who are navigating co-parenting, step-parenting, loyalty concerns, or merged routines can find focused help on practical steps forward. Sessions emphasize usable strategies, clearer communication, and ways to manage stress while living in a shared household.
How Jennifer uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trustworthy therapeutic relationship. The therapist follows the client's concerns, listens closely, and helps people name goals and next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs straightforward support and clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions teach practical skills such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that keep problems going.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name emotions and how those emotions shape interactions. It can be helpful when relationship patterns or attachment concerns contribute to ongoing conflict or distance.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use and how to practice them between sessions.
