About Jennifer
Jennifer Wikette is a licensed social worker in Ohio with 26 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, parenting strains, trauma, and life transitions. She uses clear, practical approaches and aims to make first steps feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone. Jennifer emphasizes strengths and real skills rather than labels.
Her practice focuses on helping people handle family conflict and parenting challenges in ways that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She also supports those coping with grief, addiction, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and issues like anger or social anxiety. Communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation are other common topics she addresses. Jennifer draws on methods that teach concrete tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She encourages clients to notice values and commit to actions that matter to them. Motivational approaches help when someone is stuck or struggling to make changes. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Jennifer works with each person to build steps they can try between meetings. She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and that small changes add up over time. Parents who are unsure where to begin often find it useful to start with one concern and build from there.
Jennifer aims to reduce overwhelm, improve daily routines, and strengthen communication so families can find more balance and calm.

Approach-driven online therapy for parenting and life challenges
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when hard thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for stress, parenting strain, and long-term worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day routines. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change, which can be useful when someone is struggling with addictions or making life adjustments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't been helpful before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy family life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can be good for quick check-ins or short coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to fit therapy into a parent's day.
