Judith Holland

Judith Holland is a Colorado psychologist with 37 years of clinical experience helping adults manage overwhelming stress, anxiety, trauma, and grief. She sees people who are struggling with depression, intimacy-related concerns, panic, and the day-to-day problems that make life harder. Judith works with adults age 19 and over and has a long history supporting survivors of abuse and combat-related trauma.

Her work combines practical tools with reflective conversation. She draws on mindfulness practices to help clients stay present, and uses cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also brings elements of existential therapy when people need to face meaning and life transitions, and she has experience using EMDR with trauma-related memories.

Judith’s training includes a doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver and a master’s degree in Counseling and Nursing from the University of Northern Colorado. She also holds a bachelor’s in Nursing and Psychology from the University of Texas and a master’s in Nursing from the University of Hawaii, plus postdoctoral work in neuropsychology. Her license is CO Psychologist PSY.0003232.

Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs. She will work with clients to set goals, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan as progress is made. For people coping with grief, traumatic memories, or persistent anxiety, the focus is often on practical skills and paced exposure to feared memories or situations.

Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She encourages small steps and realistic goals, and she acknowledges that starting therapy can take courage. Prospective clients are invited to begin by following the site’s intake process to match with her practice.

How her approaches translate to online care

Judith commonly uses Mindfulness Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy in her work. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and ground a person when anxiety or flashbacks arise. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete exercises and behavioral changes to reduce symptoms. Existential Therapy opens discussion about values, meaning, and life choices when people face major transitions or loss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Judith will collaborate with each client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with short skills-focused sessions, then adding deeper trauma work as the person feels ready.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, keeping appointments that are easier to attend from different locations, and using a format that may let someone choose whether to be on camera. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can still include in-session exercises, mindfulness practice, and guided cognitive work adapted for remote meetings.
