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 clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people reduce reactivity and handle difficult emotions more effectively.

She draws from several evidence-informed methods including cognitive-behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, and client-centered conversation. Sessions typically involve identifying patterns that fuel anger or anxiety, practicing new ways to respond, and building skills to manage setbacks. She also addresses related issues like body image, codependency, and family-of-origin dynamics.

Pittman favors a collaborative style. She helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and then works with them to try different skills. That can mean learning grounding and mindfulness practices, testing new communication habits, or developing a step-by-step plan to handle triggers at work or home.

Her background includes work with diverse populations across settings and age ranges, and she has supported people through major life transitions, relationship changes, and substance concerns. Clients can expect clear explanations of techniques and focused practice of skills between sessions.

If you want to address angry outbursts, chronic resentment, or rising frustration, she offers structured support to reduce reactivity and improve emotional control. To confirm current session options and formats, please check the scheduling details before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that align with values. It can help with chronic anger by shifting attention toward meaningful goals instead of getting stuck on upsetting thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include practicing new thinking and behavior experiments between meetings to reduce reactivity and avoidant patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means trying skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. It also lets people practice skills in their regular environment and bring real-life examples to sessions for immediate feedback. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit online meetings so progress continues between sessions.
