About Jenifer

Jenifer Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression, and eating and food-related issues. She draws on 19 years of experience to guide individuals toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping. Jenifer keeps sessions practical and goal-focused so families and parents can find manageable steps forward.

Her style mixes different approaches rather than relying on one method. Jenifer listens first, then helps people identify strengths and patterns that get in the way. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques to teach emotion management and new ways of responding.

Jenifer has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in many settings. That background informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s needs. She often supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, or addiction concerns, and she addresses issues like body image, attachment, and codependency.

Sessions aim to make progress feel doable. Jenifer helps people name unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and set realistic steps toward better self-worth. She is comfortable with both short-term problem solving and longer-term work to change patterns.

People who want a collaborative, strengths-based approach can expect clear tools and regular check-ins about what’s working. To begin, she asks a few questions to match goals and then creates a plan that fits each person’s life.

Approach-focused online support and practical skills

Jenifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. ACT helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed steps that match what matters to them. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and combining approaches when needed so sessions match real life challenges.

Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Online work also makes it simple to continue progress across life changes while using the same therapeutic tools and collaborative planning used in person.
