About Jennifer
Jennifer Colón is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions are practical and collaborative, focused on clear goals and steps the client can try between meetings.
Her background includes work in community nonprofits and schools around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. She has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, self-harm, body image and self-esteem issues, and LGBTQ concerns. She also helps with career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and the transition points that come with young adulthood.
Jennifer blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. She often uses creative homework such as journaling prompts, skill practice, or simple art activities to build new habits outside sessions. Sessions emphasize concrete steps rather than abstract talk.
Her style is relaxed and collaborative. She describes clients as the driver and herself as the navigator, helping set treatment goals and practical action plans. Work in sessions is aimed at reducing reactivity, improving communication, and building coping skills useful in daily life.
Outside of counseling she enjoys drawing, painting, writing, movies, and time outdoors. She also spends time with family and tries to keep a few plants alive while dabbling in gardening.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Jennifer commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills can be useful when strong emotions and reactivity make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean practicing CBT techniques one week and DBT skills the next, or adding motivational interviewing to boost commitment to change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow quicker check-ins between commitments. Shorter or phone-based meetings can work when a full video call is hard to arrange. The focus is on practical skills and habit-building that translate into everyday life, whatever format is chosen.
