About Jenifer
Jenifer Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. She works with individuals to name problems and find concrete ways to handle them. Her manner is direct and compassionate, with an emphasis on building on what already works for each person.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. That allows her to match strategies to real situations, whether someone needs short-term tools or longer-term support.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on learning practical skills to manage emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Jenifer pays attention to family background, attachment wounds, and how early relationships shape current struggles. She helps people unpack issues like codependency, communication problems, control issues, and family of origin concerns.
Work can include addressing grief, abandonment, and the painful emotions that follow major life changes. Practical skill building is a common thread in Jenifer's work. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance-based ideas, mindfulness exercises, and emotion regulation skills.
Clients practice new ways of coping and talking about problems between sessions when helpful. Her approach is collaborative. She treats clients as partners who bring knowledge about their lives.
Over time the goal is improved self-worth, clearer boundaries, and better ways to handle stress, anger, and relationship strain.

Practical approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help when anger, avoidance, or painful emotions get in the way of everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and behavior change work.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current responses and helps people build healthier ways of relating. This can be useful for communication problems, intimacy-related issues, and family of origin concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time based on what is helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video sessions approximate in-person conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while maintaining steady progress.
