About Jennifer
Jennifer Pelo is a licensed counselor practicing in Colorado. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She listens first and focuses on building a trusting connection before diving into work together.
Jennifer uses a straightforward, collaborative style. She believes people carry answers inside themselves and aims to help them access those insights. Sessions focus on practical strategies and clearer thinking so daily life becomes easier to manage.
Background and approach
Her background includes nine years in independent practice after a long career as a school counselor. That combination shaped a patient, steady approach that suits people dealing with life transitions, caregiver stress, or work-related strain. She brings experience with trauma, attachment concerns, and codependency themes.
In session, Jennifer blends client-centered listening with techniques from attachment-informed work and skills-based approaches. She also draws on mindfulness and emotion-focused methods to help people tolerate strong feelings and rebuild close connections. EMDR is part of her toolkit for those with traumatic memories when that option feels like a good match.
People can expect clear goals, simple tools to try between sessions, and attention to how patterns in relationships affect wellbeing. Jennifer explains options and adjusts the plan based on each person’s needs and preferences. The aim is steady progress, not a quick fix.

How Jennifer’s Methods Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions can help people notice patterns, reduce reactivity, and build more supported ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and pace. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own answers rather than prescribing solutions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can reduce conflict and anger in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their situation. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, processing painful memories, or improving relationship patterns, and can shift course as needed.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues during emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when being off camera helps focus. Live chat and text-based messaging support check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing skill practice between live sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
