About Jennifer
Jennifer Wikette is an Ohio LISW and a Massachusetts LICSW with 26 years of experience in social services. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger. She also supports concerns such as grief, addiction, depression, bipolar disorder, and career stress.
Jennifer frames clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. She uses practical conversation and goal-focused work to address problems that get in the way of everyday functioning. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as on understanding patterns that maintain stress and upset.
Her approach draws on methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She blends acceptance-based ideas with cognitive strategies and motivational techniques to help people clarify values, manage overwhelm, and make changes they actually want. That means some sessions emphasize symptom relief and others focus on practical steps toward a specific goal.
Jennifer aims for straightforward, down-to-earth collaboration. She encourages people who are dealing with resentment, frequent outbursts, or simmering frustration to talk about how anger shows up at home or at work. The work often includes learning new ways to pause, reflect, and choose actions that match personal values.
She asks new clients to complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How sessions work
How her approaches transfer to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps that align with those values, which can reduce reactive behavior like snapping or ongoing resentment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to rehearse different responses in stressful moments. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change by clarifying their reasons and building commitment one step at a time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, current struggles, and daily routines. That collaborative planning includes trying techniques and adjusting as needed rather than assuming one single path will work.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the context of their real life and bring specific situations from home or work into sessions for direct problem-solving.
