About Jennifer
Jennifer Wikette is an LISW and a LICSW licensed in Ohio with 26 years of professional experience in social services. She works with stress and anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting issues as described in her background. She also lists areas such as depression, bipolar, ADHD, grief, and social anxiety and phobia among the topics she addresses.
Jennifer has worked with adults and children across a long career. She approaches sessions by recognizing each person's strengths and life knowledge. She uses practical, down-to-earth language and encourages clients to notice what already helps them get through difficult times.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support changes people want to make, including around substance use or habit patterns. Sessions focus on concrete skills, small steps, and real-life problem solving rather than only talk about feelings.
Clients can expect direct, clear conversation about goals and next steps. Jennifer emphasizes practical coping tools for everyday moments of stress, worry, or conflict. She also works on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and finding purpose.
If someone is ready to begin, the usual first actions are completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Jennifer encourages people to take that step at a pace that feels manageable and to use their existing strengths as a starting point.
How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often focuses on small, specific moves people can try in daily life to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses straightforward exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It can be helpful for worry, social anxiety, and low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change and strengthen motivation for steps someone wants to take, including around substance use or habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest techniques from these methods. Sessions are a collaboration to identify what helps most and to adjust the plan as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a regular day and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a lunch break, use shorter contact when needed, or avoid camera use if that feels better. Confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match personal needs.
