Jennifer Pelo, LPC, LPCC

Jennifer Pelo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years in independent practice and a longer background as a school counselor. She helps people who are stressed, struggling with anxiety or depression, managing grief, coping with life changes, or facing intimacy and relationship concerns including jealousy. Her approach emphasizes building trust first so people feel safe to share.

She believes clients have inner strength and answers, and she works alongside them rather than telling them what to do. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and skills to manage strong emotions like anger or shame. Jennifer uses straightforward conversation, reflection, and tools to help people notice patterns and try new ways of handling problems.

Her work draws on attachment-informed ideas and client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s experience. She also uses techniques from emotion-focused work and dialectical behavior approaches to manage overwhelming feelings and improve relationships. For trauma-related concerns she includes EMDR-informed methods as appropriate.

Jennifer aims to make the therapy process collaborative. She helps people identify goals, try out small changes, and check what works. Progress is paced to the individual and often includes simple practices to use between sessions.

She provides care from Colorado and speaks English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on therapist availability.

How chosen approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It helps people notice attachment styles and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance where the therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping clarify goals. This approach is useful when someone needs to feel heard and to explore what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing better communication with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences, and then suggest methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Because session formats are not listed here, confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, client-centered, and DBT techniques to an online setting, using discussion, skill practice, and between-session exercises to keep momentum.
