Dana Krumholz , LPC

Dana Krumholz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, grief, anger, and mood challenges. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, domestic violence, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues. Dana writes plainly and aims to help people find practical ways to move forward.

She uses skills-based approaches to teach coping tools for intrusive thoughts and overwhelming emotions. Dana has been practicing since 2011 and draws on a background in addiction treatment when substance use is part of a person’s struggle. She has run Dialectical Behavior Therapy groups for six years and brings those coping strategies into individual sessions.

Dana’s style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens, meets people where they are, and works with them to set realistic goals. Sessions focus on concrete skills and small steps that can make everyday life feel more manageable.

Her training includes a Master's degree in Clinical Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and licensure as an LPC. That experience underpins a practical, client-centered way of working that values growth over perfection.

Outside of therapy, she enjoys reading, running, and hiking as ways to recharge. Dana emphasizes steady progress and supports people who want clearer thinking, better coping skills, and a stronger sense of well-being.

How her approaches work online and in session

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what matters most, and helps people clarify what they want to change or keep. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. CBT is useful for panic attacks, obsessive thinking, and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication; it is often helpful when strong emotions or self-harm urges make daily life hard.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that seem most helpful. Techniques can be mixed over time so the plan adapts as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make scheduling easier and let people choose what works best for them.
