About Jenifer
Jenifer Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 19 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, codependency, grief, parenting strain, and related issues. Jenifer focuses on helping people identify what keeps them stuck and develop practical skills to feel more able in everyday life.
Her approach blends several therapy methods to match what each person needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies help with heavy emotions so they take up less space in day-to-day life.
Attachment-based ideas are part of her work when past relationships shape present patterns. She talks with clients about how early bonds influence current trust, closeness, and boundary issues. Dialectical skill-building can be used when emotions feel intense and regulation skills are needed.
Sessions are collaborative and focus on breaking repeating patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around another person’s mood or substance use. Jenifer highlights strengths and teaches concrete coping skills rather than abstract concepts.
Jenifer has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and varied settings. She supports both short-term and longer-term work depending on each person's goals. To begin, she asks about current struggles and what a better day would look like, then maps small, practical steps toward those goals.
How sessions work
How Jenifer uses evidence-based approaches online
Jenifer commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online sessions. ACT focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and codependency patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current ways of connecting and setting boundaries, which is useful for intimacy and trust issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work together with the client to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as progress becomes clearer. That way the methods used reflect what actually helps the person in their daily life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce the need to be on camera for the whole session. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment-focused exercises to these formats so clients can practice skills between meetings.
