Dana Secord , LPC

Dana Secord is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credentialed to practice in Colorado and Texas who works with adults using an integrative approach. She holds a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Texas Wesleyan University and brings clinical experience from both private practice and community mental health settings.

She views the decision to explore one’s life story as an act of courage and offers a supportive space for people coping with overwhelming feelings such as hopelessness, depression, anxiety, racing thoughts, and emotional pain. Her work has included supporting people facing substance abuse, domestic violence, relationship conflict, gender and sexual identity concerns, and challenges related to mood, personality, and adjustment. In community health roles she provided therapy to individuals affected by sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress, anger management difficulties, bipolar disorder, low self-esteem, and eating disorders.

In sessions she encourages emotional expression and the development of self-awareness, helping clients gain insight into their interpersonal patterns and life choices. She emphasizes a collaborative process that treats each person as the expert on their own life and tailors interventions from evidence-based modalities to meet individual needs. Dana draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, trauma-focused work, attachment-based methods, and other modalities to create a personalized path forward.

Could Online Therapy Work For You?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility - people can connect in the format that fits their routines and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work, family, and other commitments.

Licensed professionals provide care through these remote options, and individuals can change therapists if they are looking for a different fit. For many, remote therapy is a practical and effective way to access mental health support without sacrificing quality of care.
