Jennifer Wickersham, LPC

Jennifer Wickersham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She has more than 20 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions. Jennifer aims to create a straightforward, supportive space where clients can set practical goals and work toward them.

Her style is person-centered. She focuses on building a genuine working relationship and listens for what matters most to each person. Jennifer uses clear problem-solving and goal-setting so progress is easy to track.

Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients see how thoughts and feelings shape behavior. She teaches cognitive reshaping and coping strategies aimed at everyday improvement. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when they fit a client's needs.

She has worked with adults, adolescents, and families on issues such as panic, PTSD related to abuse, grief, parenting stress, communication problems, and challenges tied to ADHD or bipolar disorder. Her background includes performing clinical assessments to help plan suitable interventions.

Jennifer also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, body image, and life-stage changes. She emphasizes least-restrictive approaches and has experience using phone and online services as part of care. If someone wants straightforward help to cope and move forward, she offers collaborative, goal-focused work.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Jennifer often uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a collaborative, empathetic working relationship where the client's goals guide each session. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the work to match their priorities.

She also frequently applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers clear tools such as cognitive restructuring and coping strategies that are easy to practice between sessions and review together online.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will help clients choose which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Many clients appreciate being able to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or school commitments, and online sessions can reduce travel time and make scheduling easier. Also consider practical factors like whether you prefer face-to-face video, phone check-ins, or another option when you schedule. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, aim to shape sessions to fit everyday life and real problems rather than offer one-size-fits-all care.
