Jennifer Wickersham, LPC, offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. She is based in Missouri and brings over 21 years of experience to sessions. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients set and meet clear goals.

Her work often addresses trauma and abuse, panic, depression, and issues tied to intimacy and family. She also helps with career stress, sleep problems, ADHD concerns, and compassion fatigue. Practical coping skills and cognitive techniques are common parts of her sessions.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on building a genuine, respectful relationship. In practice this means the therapist listens carefully and follows the client's lead to set goals and topics each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT sessions commonly involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new coping skills between meetings to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which tools to try first, and will adjust those choices based on response, goals, and personal preference. This helps match interventions to what actually helps the person in daily life.
If you plan to try online therapy, confirm available session options before booking. The therapist has noted that phone and online care can be effective, and many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy schedules. Online appointments can reduce travel time, make brief check-ins simpler, and let people practice skills in their usual routines. The therapist and client will decide together how best to use remote sessions to support progress.
