Jennifer Wickersham , LPC

Jennifer Wickersham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 21 years of practice. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a range of life changes. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at practical steps rather than jargon. Parents and individuals dealing with sleep, parenting strain, ADHD, or career stress will find her straightforward approach easy to follow.

She uses person-centered care to build a genuine working relationship. That means sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to each person. Jennifer blends that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thought patterns that lead to unhelpful feelings and behaviors. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness tools to help with emotional awareness and regulation.

Over two decades she has supported people with trauma, abuse, PTSD symptoms, and compassion fatigue, and she offers help with family of origin issues, blended family concerns, and divorce or separation stress. She also works with issues around body image, fertility stress, caregiver strain, and aging-related concerns.

Jennifer provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and messaging so people can choose the format that fits their life. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Services are provided in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jennifer blends person-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people uncover the thoughts and patterns that contribute to distress. Person-centered work means the therapist focuses on each person's goals and builds a genuine working relationship, while CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to create practical coping steps.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify, name, and process strong emotions. EFT techniques can be useful when emotional patterns keep repeating or when someone needs help with closeness and emotional expression. These approaches are presented collaboratively so the therapist and client decide together which tools to use based on goals and preferences.

Online therapy with Jennifer is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into tighter schedules or use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to choose the format that fits daily life and communication needs.
