About Dana
Dana Krumholz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar concerns, grief, anger, and family-related issues. Dana also focuses on communication problems, domestic violence, substance use, panic, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, social anxiety, and women's issues.
She trained with a master's degree in Clinical Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and has worked in community mental health since 2011. Much of her work has involved helping people manage intrusive thoughts and symptoms that feed depression and anxiety. She also brings experience treating addiction and offers guidance for people facing substance-use challenges.
Dana uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which she has used in both groups and individual work, informs her focus on building concrete coping skills. Those skills are taught alongside motivational interviewing and narrative methods when they fit the client’s needs and goals.
Her style is straightforward and skill-focused. Sessions often include teaching specific tools, practicing new responses, and reviewing progress. Outside work she runs, hikes, and reads as ways to manage stress and model ongoing self-care.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the person's concerns at the center of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects what matters to the client, and builds goals from the client's priorities. This approach helps people who need a responsive, respectful space to sort through what feels most urgent.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses concrete exercises and practice between meetings to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic. Clients often leave sessions with tasks to try during the week and then review how those went.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides a set of coping skills for managing intense emotions and stress. Dana has experience running DBT groups and uses those skills in individual work to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and practical needs. That may mean combining techniques or trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the exact online options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote meetings so the work remains concrete and focused.
