Dana Krumholz

Dana Krumholz is an LPC who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, grief, anger, and related struggles. She listens to what’s happening now and works alongside each person to build clearer next steps. Her approach is practical and focused on skills people can use between sessions.

She earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and has practiced since 2011. Much of her work has been in community mental health settings where she treated mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, substance use concerns, and communication problems. That experience shaped a straightforward style that mixes skills practice with discussion and problem solving.

Dana often teaches techniques to manage intrusive thoughts and high emotional intensity. She has used Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas in group and individual work for several years and emphasizes building coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing also inform her focus on changing unhelpful patterns and supporting lasting behavior change.

People describe her approach as meeting them where they are and working toward realistic goals. She pays attention to everyday routines like self-care, sleep, and exercise and helps translate those into tools for better mood and lower reactivity. She also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences and find new meaning.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys reading, running, and hiking as ways to recharge. Dana aims to help people feel stronger and more able to move forward in their lives.

How Dana’s approaches translate to online therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building concrete coping skills for intense emotions and stress. It teaches techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce anger and impulsive reactions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative responses, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s goals guide the work. This approach supports collaboration and helps people feel heard while they try new ways of coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods as progress unfolds. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize and how to pace work.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten commute time, and allow focused skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals often use session time to teach exercises, review homework, and track progress so tools learned in therapy can be used in everyday life.
