About Jennifer Bickford
Jennifer Bickford, LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor), is a Minnesota-based therapist with 11 years of experience supporting people through a broad range of emotional and relational challenges. She offers a warm, interactive therapeutic presence that centers each person's strengths and life experience while tailoring sessions to individual needs. Her practice is grounded in client-centered principles and she blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to meet clients where they are and move toward their goals.
Jennifer works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She also addresses related areas including attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication struggles, commitment issues, and blended family dynamics. In sessions she uses reflective questioning and collaborative planning to help clients identify existing strengths and practical strategies rather than positioning herself as a fixer of what is broken.
She recognizes that reaching out for support is a meaningful step and approaches each person with sensitivity and respect. Jennifer aims to empower individuals to discover their own resources and build skills that support day-to-day well-being while accompanying them through the sometimes difficult work of therapy.
