About Jenifer

Jenifer Pittman, LPC, LCPC, holds licenses in Missouri and Illinois and has 19 years of clinical experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting and eating-related problems. She combines several approaches in her work, describing the process as blending methods to fit each person and focusing on identifying strengths and building coping skills.

Jenifer explains that life can feel overwhelming and that therapy starts by naming specific concerns. She helps people learn ways to manage emotions and identifies thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Sessions can focus on short-term goals or longer work depending on what a person wants to do.

Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused ideas alongside acceptance and commitment and attachment-informed strategies. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different actions that align with their values. Jenifer emphasizes practical skills such as emotion regulation, communication strategies, and problem solving.

She reports experience across ages and settings, including work with children, adolescents and adults from varied backgrounds. That background informs how she adjusts pace, examples, and exercises for each person. Her approach keeps sessions collaborative and goal-oriented.

Jenifer aims to strengthen self-worth and guide people toward more satisfying everyday functioning. She works on concrete steps for managing symptoms and improving relationships. Clients are invited to define goals and track progress through skills practice and regular check-ins.

How Jenifer applies therapy approaches in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck on unhelpful thinking. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and issues around commitment or meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing small changes that reduce symptoms; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people change interaction styles and build clearer boundaries, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and family-origin issues.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to select methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting course over several sessions.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or video work when visual cues are helpful. These practical benefits include more flexible scheduling, the ability to work without traveling, and easier access when daily routines are tight. Licensed professionals can use the approaches above in remote sessions to practice skills, review homework, and track progress.
