About Jennifer
Jennifer Wickersham, LPC, works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, depression, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She practices in Missouri and offers a calm, straightforward style that focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Jenn aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes that make daily life easier.
Jenn has practiced counseling for over 21 years and draws on several approaches to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe life stories and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in the person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness strategies are also part of her work when shifting thoughts and behavior is helpful. In sessions Jenn listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals.
She offers coping skills for panic, techniques for mood management, and communication coaching for relationship strain. Parents can expect straightforward tools for sleep, anger, and parenting stress, and people facing career or life transitions receive concrete planning support. Jenn holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and has experience with diverse concerns including ADHD, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and family of origin issues.
She also addresses eating and body image worries, fertility and fatherhood stressors, and blended family challenges. Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and interested people start by completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule with Jenn.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Jennifer directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

How narrative and practical methods work online
Jennifer uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Rewriting parts of those stories can change how someone understands difficulties like grief, identity concerns, or recurring conflict. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps sessions focused on the person's goals and priorities and emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change patterns. That approach is useful for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and sleep struggles. Jenn combines these methods to match what each person needs rather than sticking to a single technique.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jenn works collaboratively to test what helps most and adjusts methods based on a person's goals, preferences, and responses. Conversations about what feels useful are standard early steps in therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone can fit during a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are practical for brief check-ins, homework support, or when shorter, more frequent contact helps maintain progress. These options aim to make consistent care easier to fit into daily life.
