About Jennifer
Jennifer Pelo is a licensed professional counselor who offers support for stress, anxiety, sleep concerns, grief, relationship strains, and other life changes. She has nine years running a private practice after two decades working as a school counselor. Jennifer focuses on building trust first so people feel safe to talk about what matters to them.
She believes people carry their own answers and brings a respectful, down-to-earth style to sessions. Conversations are collaborative; she listens closely and helps people find practical steps they can try between meetings. Jennifer draws on approaches that focus on attachment, emotion, and coping skills to guide that work.
In sessions she uses client-centered listening alongside skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help manage strong emotions. For those with trauma, she may work with EMDR-informed tools and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to address painful memories and improve emotional connection. Her background in school counseling informs a calm, steady manner with families and individuals navigating transitions.
Jennifer works with a range of concerns including caregiver stress, codependency, attachment issues, intimacy and communication problems, and midlife questions about purpose and direction. She also supports people dealing with anger, shame, infidelity, isolation, and career stress.
People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward language, patient listening, and joint decisions about next steps. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button and complete the brief matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.
Approaches that inform online work and emotional healing
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and important relationships shape emotion and behavior. It helps people explore patterns of closeness and distance and build safer ways of connecting with others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and relies on active listening, reflection, and support to help someone find their own answers. This approach is useful for people who want a respectful space to talk things through and make decisions they feel good about. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It is often used when emotion regulation feels overwhelming and a clear skills plan would help.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made and different skills or techniques become relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone choose a calmer setting for talking, or opt for less bandwidth-intensive contact when that fits a schedule. Licensed professionals can help adapt attachment, client-centered, and DBT techniques to an online setting so the work stays practical and focused on day-to-day changes.
