Judith Holland , CO Psychologist PSY.0003232

Judith Holland is a Colorado psychologist with 37 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She sees clients 19 and older and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Her voice is steady and direct, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

She has a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver and earlier degrees in nursing and psychology from the University of Texas, the University of Northern Colorado, and the University of Hawaii. Her training and clinical years include work with combat veterans and adult survivors of childhood abuse. Those experiences shaped a long career responding to trauma and its effects.

In sessions she combines several approaches to fit each person's needs. That might mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors that sustain anxiety, or using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for trauma memories. Mindfulness and solution-focused work also appear when they help clients move forward.

Judith emphasizes practical, respectful care. She works with people coping with panic, depression, grief, and stress from both everyday life and large-scale events. She also supports people facing medical and end-of-life concerns, HIV/AIDS related issues, and challenges that can come with aging.

Her style centers on clear goals and a tailored plan. She collaborates with each person to set priorities and build skills for coping, communication, and emotional regulation. Small changes are the focus, with steady progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Judith commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address anxiety and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps people process distressing memories so those memories cause less intense reactions in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, history, and what they prefer. That plan can shift as therapy progresses to keep work focused and practical.

Online therapy lets people access treatment with more flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and fuller clinical work, while phone sessions can be chosen when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life circumstances.
