About Jennifer Palacios

Jennifer Palacios, LMFT, is a relationship therapist and the owner of Parallel Pathways Collective. She works with individuals and couples who want to better understand repeating relational patterns, strengthen communication, and feel more connected in their relationships. Her work is especially focused on relational trauma and emotional abuse, while also supporting couples dealing with common challenges such as conflict, disconnection, and major life transitions.

In therapy, Jennifer helps clients slow down and look closely at what keeps them feeling stuck - like cycling through the same arguments or wanting greater closeness without knowing how to reach it. By making sense of patterns together, clients can gain clarity and move toward relationships that feel more aligned, secure, and intentional.

Her style is collaborative and trauma-informed, and she draws from Family Systems, Gottman, and Narrative Therapy to help clients understand their relational dynamics, build practical skills, and reshape the stories that influence how they relate to themselves and others. Jennifer recognizes that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, whether someone is addressing deep wounds or simply hoping to improve a relationship, and she supports clients in creating meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable.

Evidence-Based Relationship Therapy, Anywhere You Are in New Jersey

Jennifer Palacios uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques informed by Family Systems, Gottman, and Narrative Therapy to support individuals and couples who want healthier, more intentional relationships. A Family Systems lens focuses on how patterns develop within families and close relationships, helping people understand roles, triggers, and long-standing dynamics that can show up as conflict, disconnection, or difficulty with closeness.

Gottman-informed work emphasizes practical tools for communication and connection. This approach often helps couples slow down heated moments, reduce unhelpful cycles, and build habits that support everyday teamwork during stress or life transitions. Narrative Therapy supports clients in examining the stories they have carried about themselves and their relationships, then reshaping those narratives in ways that create more choice, clarity, and direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer collaborates with clients to understand what is happening, what they want to change, and what feels most helpful, then tailors the work to fit their goals, pace, and preferences.

Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support without added travel time. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging for flexible communication that fits busy schedules.
