Jennifer Pelo, LPC, LPCC - Therapist in Colorado

About Jennifer

Jennifer Pelo is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. She works with people facing life changes, intimacy issues, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. Jennifer brings a calm presence and practical support to quickly make therapy feel approachable.

She emphasizes building a trusting relationship first. Jennifer listens to what matters to each person and helps them find their own next steps.

Background and approach

She believes people already have strengths and uses those as a foundation for change. In sessions she combines emotion-focused work with skills-based tools. That can mean noticing patterns in relationships, practicing grounding or mindfulness skills, or using structured techniques for overwhelming emotions.

Her approach adapts to what a person needs in the moment. Jennifer trained and practiced as a school counselor for many years before starting a independent practice nine years ago. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential, listed as CO LPC 0012333 and CA LPCC 17938.

Those credentials reflect her clinical training and work across settings. Therapy with Jennifer usually starts by clarifying goals and figuring out what matters most. She then works alongside clients to try practical tools, process difficult feelings, and strengthen healthier patterns.

Sessions are offered in English and available through several online formats.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current trust and safety. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In remote work those skills are practiced in-session and reinforced with homework between meetings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps process distressing memories through guided protocols. When appropriate, elements of EMDR can be adapted to online formats and combined with grounding and emotion regulation techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and comfort. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and responsive.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, to follow up between meetings, and to use the format that feels most comfortable. Many people find the variety of online formats helps them stay consistent with treatment while addressing real-life stressors.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
