Judith Holland, CO Psychologist PSY.0003232
Calm, experienced psychologist for adult trauma and anxiety
About Judith
Judith Holland is a Colorado licensed psychologist with 37 years of professional experience. She sees adults 19 and older who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, or problems with intimacy. Judith aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can begin to sort out what feels unmanageable.
She blends several approaches to fit each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. Somatic work helps people notice and work with body sensations tied to stress and trauma.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy addresses patterns of thinking and behavior that keep painful feelings active. Mindfulness practices slow things down so people can choose their next step more clearly. Judith has worked with combat veterans and adult survivors of childhood abuse, and she has long experience supporting people through loss, panic, and life transitions.
Her background 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, and a bachelor’s in Nursing and Psychology from the University of Texas. She also holds a master’s degree in Nursing from the University of Hawaii and a postdoctoral credential in Neuropsychology.
In sessions she focuses on practical, understandable steps. Judith tailors conversation and care to what each person needs right now. She encourages small, doable changes that build safety and confidence over time.
To begin she asks about immediate concerns and goals, then co-creates a plan that fits daily life and personal priorities. Her license is CO Psychologist PSY.0003232 and she practices from Colorado, offering work in English and to international clients when arrangements allow.
How somatic and talk approaches work online
Somatic Therapy helps people notice where stress and trauma live in the body and learn gentle ways to release tension. In online sessions Judith may guide breathing, posture awareness, or grounding exercises that can be done at home to reduce physical reactivity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT often uses short exercises between sessions and clear steps to try at home for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing. When offered remotely it involves structured protocols adapted for video or phone to help people reprocess distressing experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judith will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide whether to emphasize body-focused methods, cognitive tools, EMDR, or a mix of techniques and then adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy lives or those far from Colorado. These formats make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, try short practice tasks between meetings, and access care from familiar surroundings.
