Jennifer Wikette, LISW, LICSW

Jennifer Wikette brings a practical, skill-based approach to therapy rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She draws on 26 years working in social services to help people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life changes. Her style is straightforward and focused on real-world tools that can be used between sessions.

She helps people cope with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and addictions. Parenting strains and family conflict are also common topics she addresses. Jennifer pays attention to how thoughts, behaviors, and values interact when people feel stuck.

Her work also includes support for self-esteem, social anxiety and phobia, ADHD, and career-related stress. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful steps. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs to build momentum for change.

Jennifer treats each person as the expert on their own life and centers their strengths in the work. Sessions focus on practical strategies, clear goals, and steps people can try between appointments. She aims to make therapy approachable for busy lives.

She is licensed in Ohio as LISW and as LICSW in Massachusetts, and conducts sessions in English. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through scheduling and using a subscription-based session structure that can be canceled at any time.

Online therapy with CBT and values-based work

Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is practical and helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on helping people identify what matters to them and take actions that match those values even when feelings are difficult. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to build readiness and commitment for change by exploring their reasons and strengths in a nonjudgmental way.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they set clear, realistic goals and adjust techniques as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing work between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines and give flexibility for different communication preferences.
