Jennifer Colón

Jennifer Colón is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who offers warm, practical support for people facing eating and food-related concerns alongside a wide range of other struggles. She values a relaxed, collaborative approach where the client leads and she helps map steps forward. Her goal is to create clear, manageable actions that fit into daily life. With eight years of experience, she has worked in community non-profit settings and schools in the DFW area. She has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. She also focuses on body image, self-esteem, communication problems, codependency, and issues related to sexual assault and abuse. Her style blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, and she integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing techniques when helpful. Sessions often include practical exercises and short assignments to practice new skills between meetings. These might be journaling prompts, skill practice, or creative tasks. Jennifer describes therapy as a team effort where the client is the driver and she acts as a navigator. She helps people identify clear goals and builds step-by-step plans to reach them. She aims to be kind and direct while tailoring strategies to each person's needs. Outside of her counseling work she enjoys drawing, painting, writing, reading, watching movies, and gardening. She draws on those creative interests when appropriate in sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person's experience without judgment, helping people feel heard and understood as they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and body image struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and coping strategies for intense feelings and relationship stress, offering concrete tools for managing crises and improving communication.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Then she and the client choose and adjust methods collaboratively so sessions feel useful and focused on real-life changes.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing work between in-person visits and makes it simpler to use written exercises, journaling prompts, or art-based tasks as part of treatment.
