Dana Krumholz , LPC

Dana Krumholz holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and is credentialed as a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Licensed Addictions Counselor - the former indicating licensure to practice professional counseling and the latter reflecting specialty training in addiction work. Since 2011 she has served in community mental health settings, supporting people who face depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, substance use concerns, bipolar disorder, and relationship challenges.

She focuses on teaching practical skills to manage intrusive thoughts and patterns that can contribute to anxiety and depression, and she applies a strengths-oriented approach to help people identify and build on what is working in their lives. With a background in addiction treatment, she offers guidance and support for those confronting drug or alcohol problems and integrates that experience into individualized care.

Dana has led dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - groups for six years and incorporates DBT principles into individual sessions to give clients concrete coping strategies for managing stress and emotion. She aims to meet people where they are, working collaboratively to set achievable goals and support measurable progress over the course of treatment.

Outside of her clinical work, Dana practices self-care through reading, running, and hiking, pursuits she uses to maintain her own wellbeing. She is committed to helping people feel happier, healthier, and stronger as they move forward in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dana integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy into her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping people explore their goals and values while feeling heard and respected; it is well suited to relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and grief. Cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood management. Dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - provides structured skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, and is often helpful for managing intense emotions, self-harm urges, and patterns that complicate relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and focused on progress.

Online therapy provides flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to meet people where they are, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while still offering structured, skills-based work and supportive therapeutic relationships.
