About Jennifer
Jennifer Pelo is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship concerns. She brings nine years of independent practice experience and a long background as a school counselor to her work. She aims to build a trusting connection so clients can explore what matters to them.
Her first priority is helping people feel heard and safe enough to try new ways of coping. Jennifer believes people often carry answers inside themselves and she helps them uncover those insights.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward, practical methods to address symptoms like sleep trouble, anger, low self‑esteem, and grief. Sessions move at a pace the client can manage, with options to practice skills between meetings. Her approach draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
She also uses client‑centered techniques that keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her. When trauma is involved, she may incorporate EMDR elements alongside skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage strong emotions. Jennifer works with concerns such as caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, intimacy issues, and life changes like divorce or career shifts.
She supports people facing shame, abandonment, or the loneliness that can follow major transitions. Her goal is to help clients build more stable patterns in relationships and self‑care. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through multiple formats.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current behavior and feelings; online sessions can help people notice these patterns and try new ways of relating. Client‑centered therapy keeps the focus on the person's experience, using listening and reflection to help clients explore their goals and choices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over video or messaging.Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and what methods have or haven’t helped before. That collaborative planning helps match practical techniques to each person's situation and comfort with different formats.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or long commutes. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues for attachment and emotion work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text‑based messaging support shorter check‑ins, skill practice, or ongoing reflection between scheduled sessions.
