Dana Krumholz, LPC

Dana Krumholz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and 12 years of clinical experience. She has worked since 2011 in community mental health settings, providing care for people dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use concerns, bipolar disorder, and relationship challenges.

Dana combines practical skills training with a collaborative, person-centered stance, teaching techniques to manage intrusive thoughts and reduce symptoms that contribute to anxiety and depression. She has a strong background in addiction treatment and offers guidance and support to those confronting drug or alcohol problems, as well as related family and communication issues. Over the years she has led DBT groups for six years and integrates DBT-informed skills into individual counseling to help clients build healthy coping strategies.

Clients can expect a therapist who meets them where they are, works with realistic goals, and tracks progress toward greater well-being. Dana enjoys watching people grow through therapy and supports change by helping clients develop tools for managing stress, grief, anger, and mood instability. Outside of work she practices self-care through reading, running, and hiking, and brings that same commitment to growth into her therapeutic work.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Dana uses a blend of practical approaches to help clients build skills and make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more balanced ways of coping; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - an approach that can be especially helpful for intense emotions, self-harm behaviors, and relationship challenges. Dana also incorporates client-centered ideas, which prioritize listening, empathy, and collaborating with each person to shape treatment around their values and goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dana works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and as circumstances change.

Online therapy with Dana is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from licensed professionals without needing to travel.
