About Jennifer
Jennifer Wikette is an Ohio-licensed social worker with 26 years of experience as a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction. She also helps people dealing with parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns.
Jennifer approaches sessions in a straightforward way. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice what matters and take small, practical steps. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and trying out new ways of coping.
Her background spans social services work with adults and children over many years. That experience informs a practical focus on everyday problems like communication breakdowns, isolation, guilt and shame, and trouble with self-esteem. Life purpose and career concerns are also part of the work she offers when people feel stuck or unsure what comes next.
People can expect a clear, conversational style that highlights their own strengths and choices. Jennifer helps clients weigh options and set manageable goals rather than promising quick fixes. The first session typically looks at what brings someone in now and what a reasonable next step could be.
If you are considering therapy after a major change in work, relationships, or health, she guides people through practical steps. She asks about goals and priorities, discusses a few methods that could help, and sets a plan for follow-up sessions.
How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify personal values to guide small actions. It is often useful when someone feels directionless after a life change or wants clearer purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying out different behaviors. It’s practical for anxiety, depression, coping with loss, and everyday stresses where changing habits can make a difference.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps clarify what someone wants to change and builds their motivation to try. It is commonly used for addictions, making life shifts, and deciding next steps in a career or relationship.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, and together they will try methods that fit the person’s situation. This collaborative process can include adjusting strategies as progress is reviewed.
