About Dana
Dana Krumholz is an LPC who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem. She listens to what feels hard right now and works with each person to find practical steps they can try. Dana also offers guidance for those dealing with grief, anger, bipolar mood patterns, and relationship or family-related strain.
Dana completed 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, where she supported people facing PTSD, mood disorders, panic, and substance-related problems. She brings 12 years of experience and a background in addiction counseling to her sessions.
Her approach is collaborative and skills-focused. She teaches coping techniques for intrusive thoughts and helps people develop behaviors that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. She has run Dialectical Behavior Therapy groups for six years and often brings DBT skills into individual work to strengthen emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Dana also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and find their own reasons for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy are other tools she draws on to challenge unhelpful thinking and to reframe difficult experiences.
Outside of counseling, Dana enjoys reading, running, and hiking as ways to recharge. She aims to help people feel happier, healthier, and stronger by working together on realistic, manageable goals.

How these approaches translate to online work
Many of Dana's methods focus on clear goals and usable skills. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to help someone weigh their options and strengthen motivation for change. It can be helpful for people facing substance use, ambivalence about change, or anyone who wants clearer goals.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens with empathy and follows the client's lead to build trust and focus on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, panic attacks, and depressive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dana works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She often blends approaches and adjusts plans as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when that helps. Licensed professionals often tailor session length and pacing to match a person's schedule and daily demands. -
