About Jenifer
Jenifer Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience in Missouri and Illinois. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, addiction, grief, parenting concerns, and related issues. Jenifer speaks English and supports people aiming to manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.
She takes a practical, straightforward approach. Sessions focus on identifying current problems, noticing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and learning concrete skills to respond differently. Jenifer blends cognitive behavioral strategies with mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help people handle triggers and reduce reactivity.
Her style centers on collaboration. She listens, highlights a person’s strengths, and helps set short- and longer-term goals. Work in sessions can include skill practice, thought pattern review, and checking how new responses fit into daily life.
Jenifer has worked in a range of settings with people from various backgrounds. That experience informs her work with anger, family conflict, and stress tied to caregiving, work, and identity concerns. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues that fuel resentment or low self-worth.
Practical tools are a common focus. Clients often leave sessions with specific strategies for handling intense emotions, communication techniques for tense encounters, and steps to reduce substance-related problems or disordered eating patterns. She supports people whether they plan to meet for a short time or for ongoing work.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them and clarifies what matters most. It can be useful for anger that comes from values clashes or feeling stuck in repetitive behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that lead to outbursts. CBT is often chosen for anger tied to distorted thinking or workplace and relationship triggers. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help reduce reactivity and improve communication.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jenifer will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and daily life. That means trying techniques in session, checking how they work between meetings, and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

Therapists can guide practice of skills during sessions and help plan how to use them in real situations, which supports steady progress without promising a specific outcome.
