Jennifer Colón, LPC

Jennifer Colón is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a registered art therapist who works with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families in Texas. She has provided counseling and art therapy services to community non-profit organizations and schools in the DFW area, drawing on her training to support people through a range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, family conflict, relationship difficulties, trauma, and anger management. The LPC designation means she is a licensed professional counselor, and as a registered art therapist she often integrates creative activities into the therapeutic process to help clients express and process emotions.

Her counseling approach is relaxed and collaborative; she frames clients as the "driver" and herself as the "navigator" in therapy, working together to set goals and create action plans. She blends strengths-based, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and art therapy methods, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. Clients may receive practice assignments between sessions, such as skill exercises, journal prompts, or art activities to extend progress outside of appointments.

Outside of her clinical work, Jennifer enjoys drawing, painting, writing, watching movies, spending time with family, and reading. She appreciates nature and gardening and describes herself as someone who dabbles in keeping plants alive. Reaching out for help is a brave step, and Jennifer offers support, encouragement, and guidance to those ready to begin this process.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Jennifer Colón draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT, and dialectical behavior therapy - DBT to inform online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their goals; it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. CBT targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress by shifting unhelpful thinking patterns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping with strong urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Jennifer Colón works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time to support progress. This collaborative exploration helps ensure therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow scheduling around work, family, and other commitments and let clients continue care from their preferred location. Jennifer uses these formats to provide consistent, goal-oriented support while adapting techniques to work effectively across different modalities.
