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. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, codependency, and other life pressures. Jennifer also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, and struggles around self-esteem and life purpose.

Her style centers on building a trusting working relationship before moving into deeper work. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s experience and choices guide the work. Sessions focus on clear talk, practical skill-building, and checking in about what feels helpful.

Jennifer uses approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These methods inform how she helps people address patterns like people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and living around another person’s moods or drinking.

In sessions she aims to help clients notice relationship patterns, practice boundary-setting skills, and process painful memories or losses. Work may include emotion-focused conversation, mindfulness practices, and skills from DBT for managing intense feelings.

Jennifer began as a school counselor and shifted to private practice nine years ago. Her background includes long-term experience in educational settings, which contributes to a practical, straightforward approach when supporting adults through midlife changes, career transitions, and family of origin concerns.
