Jennifer Pelo , LPC, LPCC

Jennifer Pelo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who transitioned from a long career as a school counselor into private practice nine years ago. Her clinical training and years in educational settings inform a calm, steady approach to working with individuals and families.

Her practice centers on building a trustworthy therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. She believes that each person carries important insight and strengths, and that therapy is most effective when it supports people in discovering and using their own wisdom. In sessions she guides, listens, and walks alongside clients as they explore challenges and choices.

Beginning therapy can feel both brave and uncertain, and she acknowledges that previous negative experiences with therapy can make reengaging difficult. She respects that not every therapist or modality will be the right fit for every person and honors each client’s right to make choices about their care.

At this time Jennifer is not accepting new clients, but her approach remains focused on relational trust, collaborative exploration, and empowering people to find their own solutions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships influence emotional patterns and expectations. It helps people explore attachment styles, address abandonment or trust concerns, and rebuild healthier ways of connecting with others.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing reactive behaviors. It is useful for people who want tools for emotion regulation and clearer communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into a busy life and to access licensed professionals from home or work. These formats allow flexibility in scheduling and offer multiple ways to engage so clients can choose what feels most comfortable and effective for them.
