Jennifer Wickham

Jennifer Wickham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with more than 26 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and relationship struggles. Jennifer focuses on practical steps that fit daily life and aims to make conversations feel clear and manageable for worried parents and caregivers.

Her approach centers on the person rather than a diagnosis. Sessions combine listening with hands-on strategies drawn from trauma-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and attachment-based work. Jennifer uses a calm, respectful style and offers reflective practices like gentle breath work and mindfulness when helpful.

Jennifer has worked in inpatient adolescent residential treatment and community mental health settings. She also consults with the Wisconsin Association for Infant Mental Health and has specialized training in infant, early childhood, and family mental health from the University of Wisconsin Madison.

Her training includes Trauma-Focused Therapy methods, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and child-parent psychotherapy. She also draws on reflective practices such as yoga and meditation to support emotional regulation and self-care.

Outside of work she is a parent, trains for RAGNAR races, does yoga, plays viola, and enjoys reading and crafting. Jennifer frames therapy as a collaborative process and works at each person’s pace to build practical skills and steady forward progress.

How trauma-focused and attachment approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. It uses structured ways to approach and reframe difficult experiences so people can feel less stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps caregivers and parents learn new ways to connect and respond that support healing.

Jennifer treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and new goals emerge.

Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, keeping regular weekly visits, or joining sessions from a location that reduces travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to practice coping skills between meetings and to involve caregiving adults in planning and skill-building when appropriate.
