About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickersham is a licensed professional counselor with more than 21 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She practices in Missouri and draws on straightforward, practical methods to help people move toward clearer thinking and steadier days. Jenn aims to build a genuine working relationship where clients feel heard and understood.
She focuses on real problems like panic, grief, parenting strain, sleep disruption, and coping with major life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing issues tied to identity, intimacy, anger, career stress, and attention challenges. Sessions are guided by client goals and day-to-day needs rather than long lists of techniques. Her approach centers on the person in front of her.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen without judgment and to help people find their own paths forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent tool in sessions to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical coping strategies. Jenn has a background working with children, adolescents, adults, and family-related concerns and has provided clinical assessments to guide treatment choices.
She favors the least restrictive interventions and supports using multiple formats, including online and phone work, when those fit the client’s life. In sessions clients can expect calm, direct conversation and concrete steps to try between meetings. The work is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as needs change.
Jenn uses her years of practice to keep things focused and manageable for busy families and individuals.
How Jennifer Uses Talk Therapy Methods Online
Jennifer commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working remotely. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and stressful thinking.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit school, work, or caregiving schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins or short problem-focused exchanges. These options help people maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into busy lives.
