About Jenifer
Jenifer Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience. She practices in Missouri and has worked with children, adolescents, and adults from varied backgrounds. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family issues, and concerns about self-esteem and identity.
Jenifer focuses on identifying what causes distress and then testing new ways of responding. Sessions include noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, learning concrete coping skills, and practicing small behavioral changes. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness and solution-focused ideas.
Her approach blends several methods so therapy is practical and structured. Clients work on recognizing thoughts and patterns that get in the way, and then try experiments to see what changes feel helpful. This can include skills for emotion regulation, grounding, and clearer communication.
Jenifer has experience supporting people through grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, addiction, eating and body-image concerns, and career or life transitions. She also addresses attachment and family-of-origin issues, codependency, and commitment or control problems.
Work can be short-term or longer-term depending on the goals. Sessions emphasize skill building, tracking progress, and adjusting strategies when something isn’t working. To begin, people are asked to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session so goals and next steps can be clarified.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jenifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching concrete skills to change them. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences, clarifying values, and taking actions that align with those values. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and communication.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Working remotely still supports skill practice, behavioral experiments, and coaching around communication and emotion regulation in everyday life.
