Judith Holland, CO Psychologist PSY.0003232

Judith Holland is a Colorado licensed psychologist with 37 years of clinical work helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and depression. She focuses on clear, compassionate conversation and practical steps people can try between sessions. Judith works only with adults 19 and older and has long experience with survivors of abuse and veterans. Her background combines counseling psychology and nursing. She earned a doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver and has a Master of Science in Counseling plus nursing studies from the University of Northern Colorado. Additional degrees include a Bachelor of Nursing and Psychology from the University of Texas, a Master of Nursing from the University of Hawaii, and postdoctoral study in neuropsychology. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean CBT techniques to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to reduce rumination, or solution-focused steps to make immediate shifts. For trauma-related concerns she may incorporate EMDR and somatic elements alongside talk work. Judith aims to keep therapy straightforward and respectful. She will tailor the conversation and the plan to what matters most to the person in front of her. This often includes short, doable goals and ways to track progress between visits. Many people come for help with panic, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault recovery, or problems with intimacy and sexual functioning. Judith also supports issues tied to aging, end-of-life care, first responder stress, and HIV/AIDS related concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Judith commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address trauma, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with daily life. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation and guided memory processing to help people move through traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. She also uses existential ideas in conversation to help people find meaning when life shifts feel overwhelming. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss symptoms, goals, and preferences and then pick methods to try together, adjusting as needed. The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for more flexible scheduling. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when needed or choose session times that fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. The process aims to make therapeutic work practical and usable in everyday routines.
