About Jennifer
Jennifer Wikette is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Ohio with 26 years of experience. She works with adults on common life stresses including anxiety, depression, grief, and anger, and addresses related concerns such as parenting, relationship strain, and career stress.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Jennifer draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing to help people name what matters to them and try different steps toward it. Sessions focus on habits, thoughts, and small actions that change daily life rather than on jargon or long lectures.
Jennifer has a background in social services and has worked with people across a range of settings over her career. That experience informs a pragmatic style that emphasizes coping skills, communication, and decision points people face when feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
She helps people address family conflict and parenting challenges by clarifying goals and practicing clearer ways to talk about problems. For trauma and abuse she balances safety and pacing while helping people build practical coping tools to manage stress reactions over time.
People who come for help with addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or social anxiety work on concrete steps for daily life. Jennifer encourages clients to try short experiments between sessions and to notice what helps. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, committed actions toward those values even when feelings are strong. It is useful for anger that shows up as ongoing resentment, avoidance, or frustrating patterns in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. It can help when anger is driven by automatic thoughts or repeated behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore mixed feelings and build motivation for change, often used when someone wants to shift habits like substance use or engagement patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will help clients choose which tools to try based on their goals, current struggles, and what feels realistic. She focuses on trying techniques in small steps and reviewing what helps, then adjusting the plan together.
Confirm the current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use video or phone to support ongoing practice, goal setting, and coaching between sessions, which can make it simpler to apply new skills to everyday situations.
