Dana Krumholz , LPC

Dana Krumholz holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as well as a Licensed Addictions Counselor. Since 2011 she has worked in community mental health, supporting people through depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, substance use concerns, bipolar disorder, and relationship challenges.

She emphasizes practical skills that help manage intrusive thoughts and other patterns that contribute to anxiety and low mood. Dana has extensive experience using Dialectical Behavior Therapy - she has led DBT groups for six years - and she brings those same skill-based strategies into individual work to help clients build effective coping tools for stress and emotional regulation.

Dana approaches each person with an attitude of listening and partnership, meeting clients where they are and helping them take steps toward their goals. Her background in addiction treatment informs her ability to provide guidance and support to those facing substance-related issues, and she frequently integrates motivational and narrative elements to support lasting change.

Outside of her clinical work she practices self-care through reading, running, and hiking, and she enjoys encouraging clients as they pursue personal growth and greater well-being.

Skills-Based Approaches and Online Support

Dana frequently integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her work. DBT focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive behaviors - it is often helpful for people struggling with emotion regulation, self-harm, or patterns of impulsivity.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides structured strategies for addressing anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood-related concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dana works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains practical and goal-focused.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit treatment into a busy schedule or to receive support from a distance. These options allow therapists to deliver the same skills-based interventions used in person while offering convenient access and consistent care.
