About Jennifer
Jennifer Colón is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who offers a calm, collaborative approach to therapy. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. Her style is down-to-earth and goal oriented, aimed at practical steps people can try between sessions.
She draws on client-centered work to make sessions feel respectful and tailored. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to teach coping skills and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are woven in when people want clear goals and steady momentum. Jennifer has eight years of experience providing counseling in community and school settings across Texas. That background shaped her skill at working with young adults and parents, and at adapting methods to different ages and needs.
She often suggests short exercises or journaling to reinforce progress between meetings. Common concerns she addresses include grief, self-esteem, addictions, parenting strain, anger, career stress, and navigating life changes. She also supports people dealing with sexual assault, body image, codependency, social anxiety, and polyamory or non-monogamous relationship issues.
Sessions can focus on practical problem solving as well as emotional processing. Jennifer keeps a relaxed, guiding presence and helps people set clear, doable goals. She collaborates on action plans and offers concrete skills to practice.
If someone is ready to begin, she helps them take the next step toward change.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely and adapts sessions to what matters most to the client, which helps people feel understood and involved in planning change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns through practice and small experiments.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful when strong emotions make daily life harder or when someone needs steady skills to manage intense moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and life context to pick methods that fit. That makes sessions collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in, get brief support, or follow up on homework without a full session. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into a busy life.
