About Dana
Dana Krumholz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, and concerns about family relationships. Dana also focuses on communication problems, panic, and women's issues. She conducts sessions in English and does not accept international clients.
Dana uses practical, skills-based methods to help clients handle intrusive thoughts and strong emotions. She teaches coping strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical behavior therapy. These tools are aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving day-to-day functioning rather than promising quick fixes.
She has run DBT groups for six years and brings that structure into individual work when helpful. That framework emphasizes building specific skills for managing stress, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Dana also integrates client-centered listening, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques to support change.
In sessions she listens to what’s happening now and helps people try small, doable steps toward their goals. She encourages practical strategies clients can use right away, like thought skills for anxiety and behavior experiments to test new ways of responding. Her addiction background informs how she talks about substance use and relapse prevention.
Outside of clinical work Dana reads, runs, and hikes to maintain balance. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process of working on their concerns.
How Dana’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what a person brings. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's concerns and adjusts the pace and topics to what feels most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with specific exercises. Online sessions can include homework like thought records and behavior experiments to test new ways of responding to anger and anxiety.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides a clear set of skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are taught step by step and practiced between sessions. Dana's experience running DBT groups means she can introduce structured skill work alongside individual conversations about goals and values.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Dana will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT skill practice with client-centered discussion or using motivational interviewing when substance use is part of the picture.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain steady progress while working on anger, stress, and related concerns.
