Jennifer Pelo, LPC, LPCC

Jennifer Pelo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Colorado with nine years in private practice and two decades of experience as a school counselor. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a range of related struggles. Sessions are offered in English and she does not work with international clients.

Jennifer emphasizes building a reliable working relationship first. She says trust matters and that people often hold answers that therapy can help them uncover. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps clients find practical next steps they can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She also uses client-centered work to keep the focus on the person in front of her. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques offer concrete skills for managing intense emotions and maintaining balance during stress.

For trauma-related symptoms she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside other methods when appropriate. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when relational patterns and closeness are the focus of the work.

Jennifer frames therapy as a collaborative process. She acknowledges that people try therapy for many reasons and that past experiences affect expectations. Her practice supports steady, practical change rather than quick fixes, and she invites prospective clients to reach out and review whether her style fits their needs.
