About Jenifer
Jenifer Pittman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and addiction. Her tone is practical and direct so parents can read quickly and know what to expect.
She focuses on helping clients identify what feels most overwhelming and then breaking it into small, manageable steps. Sessions often include learning ways to manage emotions, improve communication, and build healthier routines.
Background and approach
The goal is clearer thinking and stronger confidence in everyday parenting and life choices. Jenifer mixes several approaches to fit each person's situation. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going.
Mindfulness and acceptance-based tools help people become more present and reduce overreacting to stress. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, especially around intimacy, trust, and family roles. Therapy also addresses practical issues like anger, body image, caregiver stress, and substance use in straightforward terms.
Her style is collaborative and nonjudgmental. Clients set goals and she offers concrete skills and homework when helpful. Whether someone wants brief coaching-style sessions or longer work, she helps parents and individuals find clearer ways forward.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck by teaching practical skills for moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and many everyday challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then use techniques from ACT, CBT, or attachment work as needed. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so methods fit parenting demands, relationship goals, or recovery needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when more nuance is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work for brief updates, homework support, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and varied routines.
