Jennifer Pelo

Jennifer Pelo is a licensed professional counselor with nine years in private practice and two decades of school counseling experience. She focuses on common and painful issues like stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, anger, and low self-esteem. Jennifer emphasizes building trust first and meeting people where they are.

She believes people carry their own answers and strengths, and she offers support while clients work through difficult decisions. Her approach blends mindfulness practices with attachment-based and client-centered methods to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also uses tools from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when helpful.

Sessions tend to center on practical steps people can use between meetings, such as grounding techniques, clearer communication skills, and emotion regulation strategies. Jennifer pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment wounds, codependency, infidelity, caregiver stress, and life transitions like divorce or midlife questioning. Her aim is to help clients reduce overwhelming feelings and regain a sense of direction.

Jennifer holds LPC and LPCC credentials and practices in Colorado. She works collaboratively, listening first and tailoring methods to each person. If someone has had a disappointing therapy experience before, she emphasizes that it is okay to try again and to choose what feels right.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice their thoughts, feelings, and body sensations without judgment. In sessions it often includes small exercises that teach calm, attention, and ways to interrupt overwhelming reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at past and current relationship patterns to understand how people connect, pull away, or react under stress, and it helps people try different ways of relating in the present.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as work progresses so the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions to be scheduled around work or family demands. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or choose audio-only exchanges when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
