Judith Holland, CO Psychologist PSY.0003232

Judith Holland is a Colorado clinical psychologist with 37 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. She works with people coping with panic, intimacy-related concerns, and the emotional fallout from abuse. Judith focuses on adults 19 and older and draws on long experience with veteran and first responder issues among other trauma-related needs.

Her work emphasizes practical steps and steady conversation. She listens to what matters most and tailors sessions to each person's goals. Judith blends techniques rather than following a single method so the plan fits the problem and the person.

Judith earned a doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. She also holds a master’s degree in Counseling and Nursing from the University of Northern Colorado, a master’s degree in Nursing from the University of Hawaii, and a bachelor’s in Nursing and Psychology from the University of Texas. She completed postdoctoral study in neuropsychology.

In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, solution-focused work, existential ideas, and EMDR when appropriate. Those tools are chosen to address symptoms like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, or persistent anxiety, and to help with life transitions such as bereavement or end-of-life concerns.

Her stated approach is respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. New clients start with a conversation to set goals and build a plan that fits their daily life and needs.

Approaches that translate to online care

Judith draws from cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. CBT often involves short skills practice and clear steps to try between sessions to help with panic, worry, and daily stress.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma work, which guides attention while processing distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity. EMDR is often used for post-traumatic stress and lingering effects of abuse or assault.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Judith will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust strategies if something isn’t working.

Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting sessions into busy days, reducing travel time, and keeping appointments consistent. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions will be arranged. The focus is on making therapy fit your routine so you can practice skills and follow a plan between meetings.
