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 works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, and family of origin issues. Jenifer also addresses grief, self-esteem, parenting stresses, eating and intimacy-related issues.
She works with adults who notice patterns from their family background shaping current life. Sessions focus on naming those patterns, understanding how they show up now, and testing new ways of relating. Conversations are direct and practical, with tools to manage emotions and reduce overwhelm.
Her approach mixes several therapeutic methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and act on what matters. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and attachment-based ideas are used when emotion regulation and relational patterns are central concerns.
Jenifer leans toward client-centered work in session. That means she listens and follows what the person brings, then offers strategies and skills. Mindfulness exercises and solution-focused techniques often appear in sessions to support concrete change.
With nearly two decades of work across settings, she brings experience supporting people through transitions, loss, and addiction. Practical skill-building and identifying strengths are regular parts of treatment. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking action toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns rooted in family expectations.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections. This approach is useful when people notice repeating roles or trust and closeness problems that trace back to family of origin issues.
Jenifer treats finding the right approach as collaborative. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That way the treatment reflects the client's needs rather than a fixed protocol.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it helps keep consistency during life transitions and makes regular skill practice more practical.
