About Judith

Judith Holland is a licensed clinical psychologist in Colorado with 37 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach

She works with adult survivors of abuse, combat veterans, and people managing panic, adjustment difficulties, and other anxiety disorders, tailoring care to each person’s circumstances. Judith emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate collaboration while addressing complex reactions to loss, life transitions, and traumatic events.

Her training includes a doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver, 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, a bachelor’s in Nursing and Psychology from the University of Texas, and postdoctoral study in Neuropsychology.

She draws from an integrated set of methods to form individualized plans, using evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness, existential perspectives, EMDR, and solution-focused strategies as appropriate.

Judith invites prospective clients to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to her availability, with an approach that adapts to each adult client's goals and needs.

Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help

Judith commonly integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR into online work. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and daily stressors through structured skill building and practical exercises. EMDR targets distressing memories and traumatic reactions by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to assess symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then recommend strategies that fit their situation. That collaborative planning may blend approaches over time as needs evolve, ensuring treatment is responsive to progress and changing priorities.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can increase convenience and scheduling flexibility for adults juggling work, health, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to access therapeutic tools and check-ins between live sessions, supporting ongoing progress from wherever a client is located.
