About Jennifer
Jennifer Wikette is a licensed social worker in Ohio who blends practical, evidence-based methods with a strengths-focused perspective.
Background and approach
With 26 years in social services, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and a wide range of mood and relationship concerns. She emphasizes collaborative work that helps clients build skills, clarify values, and shift unhelpful patterns.
Her approach centers on honoring each person's lived experience while teaching concrete strategies for coping and change. Jennifer has supported adults and children across clinical and community settings, helping people manage depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, addictive behaviors, anger, and life transitions.
She also addresses communication problems, self-esteem issues, social anxiety, and questions around purpose and self-love. Clients can expect an encouraging, pragmatic style that highlights existing strengths and practical next steps.
Jennifer holds LISW and LICSW credentials and aims to create a therapeutic process that fits individual goals, pacing, and preferences. For those ready to begin, she views the first step toward help as an important act of courage.
Online Evidence-Based Care and Practical Tools
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress; this approach focuses on teaching concrete skills for managing symptoms and changing responses. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action toward a valued life.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Jennifer works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then tailors which methods to emphasize so therapy fits the individual’s needs and pace rather than applying a single fixed method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or other locations, support continuity through life changes, and allow the therapist and client to choose the communication style that best supports progress.
