About Jennifer
Jennifer Pelo is a Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years in private practice and a longer history as a school counselor. She focuses on everyday problems that make life feel hard, such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep troubles, and caregiver strain. Parents reading this will find plain, steady language and an emphasis on building trust before moving forward.
She believes people already carry much of the wisdom they need. In sessions she listens first, then helps people notice patterns and options. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, and she prioritizes a trusting relationship as the foundation for change.
Jennifer uses customer-centered ideas drawn from Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person’s goals central. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape reactions now, and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage strong emotions. These methods are mixed to match each person’s needs rather than applied the same way to everyone.
Her background includes nearly two decades working in school settings before establishing a private practice nine years ago. Jennifer holds LPC and LPCC credentials and works from Colorado. She offers straightforward, step-by-step support for practical problems like communication breakdowns, commitment worries, and life transitions.
People come to her for help with intimacy issues, infidelity, family-of-origin struggles, burnout, and feelings of isolation. She helps people sort priorities, set small goals, and practice new ways of relating that fit their daily life.
How chosen approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people identify goals that matter to them. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back, asks gentle questions, and supports clients as they decide next steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how those patterns show up in current connections; it can help when trust, jealousy, or commitment fears are driving conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with a listening-focused Client-Centered approach, adding DBT skills for emotion regulation, or using attachment ideas when relationship patterns are central. Decisions are made together and can change as progress is made.
