About Jennifer

Jennifer Colón is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with eight years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and addiction-related issues. She also addresses codependency, body image, communication problems, and other related struggles.

She keeps a relaxed, collaborative style and treats the person in front of her as the driver while she acts as a navigator. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps. Clients can expect practical skills, short assignments between sessions, and options like journaling or art-based activities to practice what they discuss.

Jennifer blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy tools when they fit a client's goals. This mix is used to address worry, reactive emotions, and patterns that make it hard to set boundaries or follow through on changes.

Her background includes work in community nonprofit settings and schools in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. That experience informs how she supports people managing family stress, parenting strain, and young adult transitions. She offers straightforward skill practice for everyday problems.

Sessions are conducted in English and based in Texas. The subscription-based session model can be canceled at any time. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details by completing the short questionnaire to find a first appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps clarify goals. This approach is useful when someone needs to feel understood while sorting out tricky emotions and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. Sessions include skill practice, thought records, and small experiments to test different behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and repetitive patterns like people-pleasing or self-critical thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes breathing and grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and communication skills for setting boundaries.

The therapist will work collaboratively to pick the right mix of approaches based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Figuring out what helps most is part of the first few meetings rather than a one-time decision.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to be on camera. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
