About Dana

Dana Krumholz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, grief, anger, and mood challenges. She focuses on practical skills that help manage intrusive thoughts and strong emotions. Dana listens, teaches coping techniques, and helps people identify steps to improve day-to-day life.

Her background includes work with substance use concerns and related issues. Dana earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado.

Background and approach

She began practicing in 2011 in community mental health settings, gaining a wide range of experience over more than a decade. That work included treating depression, post-traumatic stress, bipolar disorder, and substance-related problems. She has led Dialectical Behavior Therapy groups for six years and brings DBT skills into individual sessions.

Those skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness so people have concrete tools to use between appointments. Dana also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are part of her approach when exploring goals and personal stories.

In sessions she aims to meet people where they are, working together to set realistic goals. Outside of work she enjoys reading, running, and hiking as ways to practice self-care.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, validates concerns, and helps identify goals so people feel heard and supported during their work together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and making small, practical changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns and offers tools to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, known as DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Dana has run DBT groups and brings those skill sets into individual sessions to give people reliable coping tools.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together they will choose or blend methods that fit best. That collaborative planning helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions provide an audio option. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or for those who prefer written communication. These options help make consistent care easier to fit into everyday life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
