    About Jennifer

    Jennifer Colón is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside other practical approaches. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, doable steps. Her style is calm and collaborative, with the person in the lead and her acting as a guide.

    Jennifer has eight years of counseling experience in community settings and schools in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. She has helped people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship concerns. She also supports clients facing parenting strain, career questions, addictions, and struggles with self-esteem or body image.

    Her work blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies. Jennifer often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Motivational Interviewing to help people build coping tools and make changes that matter. She commonly offers take-home activities like journaling prompts, skill practice, or creative tasks to continue progress between sessions.

    Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. Jennifer helps people set realistic goals and create simple action plans to reach them. The tone is kind and practical, and she adjusts methods to fit each person’s needs and preferences.

    Outside of counseling, she enjoys drawing, painting, writing, watching movies, reading, and spending time outdoors. She gardens a bit and likes being near nature. She emphasizes that reaching out takes courage and offers steady support through the process.

  2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions, reflective listening, and gentle guidance to move someone toward their goals and is often helpful for addiction, motivation, and behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and emphasizes listening, understanding, and working at the client's pace to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms and solve problems. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then shape sessions together. That collaborative check-in helps decide which techniques to emphasize and when to try different tools. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a quick session is helpful. It can also let people keep therapy consistent during life transitions and practice skills in real time between meetings.
