About Jenifer
Jenifer Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly two decades of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. Parents and individuals often turn to her when parenting, career strain, or family conflicts feel overwhelming.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical change. Jenifer listens first, then works with each person to identify strengths and manageable steps.
How Jenifer works
She uses everyday language and teaches skills people can use between sessions. Her approach blends several methods to match what each person needs. She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness strategies to reduce reactivity, and acceptance-based ideas to build values-driven action.
Attachment-informed perspectives guide work on intimacy, abandonment, and communication patterns. Jenifer has worked in a range of settings with people of different ages and backgrounds. She is licensed in Missouri as an LPC and in Illinois as an LCPC.
That experience informs how she helps people navigate transitions, addiction recovery, and relationship repair. Sessions can be short-term or ongoing depending on goals. Jenifer emphasizes skill building so people leave with concrete tools for emotion regulation, boundaries, and healthier patterns.
She supports clients in moving toward clearer priorities and better daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches in an online setting
Jenifer commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and build meaningful action. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practicing new responses to improve mood and functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to clarify values and commit to small steps that align with what matters most.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to address patterns of closeness, abandonment worries, and communication problems in relationships. That perspective helps when intimacy, codependency, or family-of-origin patterns are central concerns. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - Jenifer will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let the therapist and client work face-to-face from different locations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when scheduling a quick session during a break. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
