Jennifer has been an exceptional therapist. From my first call I felt like I had enough to move forward and take some long overdue actions. She helped move me from depressed to the most empowered I have ever been in a very short time frame. She listened, she understood and equipped me every step of the way. I have already recommended her several time to people I know. Reach out to her if you need a great therapist, she is amazing.

Hello, I am Jenn Wickersham, L.P.C. and reside in St. Louis, Missouri. I have been licensed and providing therapy for over 20 years. My background and experience has allowed me to work and assist several children and adolescents, adults and families.

My experience is working with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, PTSD, abuse and trauma, relationship and familial issues. I am dedicated and provide a supportive approach ensuring solution focused goals.

I am person centered and believe in having a genuine relationship with my clients.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jennifer is an excellent therapist on BetterHelp. With my first therapist I wasn’t feeling heard or like I was receiving help with trying to find tools for my anxiety/depression. I was beginning to feel like I wasted my time and money trying to pursue therapy. But when I switched to Jennifer it was a weight of doubt lifted off my shoulders. She was fantastic at being present and digging deeper into what I was struggling with. A fantastic listener who offers great coping tools, perspective, and asks the questions needed to try and find healing. Very thankful for her and her amazing practice! Has helped me substantially in the past two weeks and I’m sure more to come. Very kind-highly recommend!

Jenn is amazing. She is such a skilled practitioner, giving you time to talk, share and reflect. I'm blessed to have been offered her support. Would strongly recommend Jenn to anyone who is struggling and needs support.

M.I.·Jan 2021

Jenn is a fantastic listener and good at getting to the core of an issue. Her questions are insightful and she helped guide me to making connections when reviewing my past and current issues. She was very flexible with dates and time scheduling. I highly recommend her and I’d recommend anyone to use messaging throughout the week and a weekly session to support growth.

J.U.·Aug 2020

Jenn made me feel relaxed and calm. She was a great listener and offered great summaries for me to reflect on to work deeper on some of the issues that came up in our discussions. I felt so much relief knowing she was just a message away.

K.A.·Jul 2020

In my short time dealing with Jenn I feel comfortable Jenn has truly listened to me and not been afraid to jump in and provide feedback and thoughts on the situations I've brought up, very positive experience.

M.A.·Jul 2020

Jenn has been absolutely amazing in helping me find my inner strength and facing what bothers me most. I know we have only been working together for a short time, but she has a way of making me feel at ease, feel safe opening up and sharing. She truly knows how to listen, provide guidance and complete support. I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.

A.L.·Jun 2020

Jennifer and I click pretty well. She’s kind and helpful, so far, and pretty resourceful. I feel lucky that we were matched!
