Dana Secord

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hello! My name is Dana and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado and Texas.

I truly believe that one of the bravest things anyone can do is begin to understand their own story.

Hopelessness, depression, anxiety, racing thoughts, and emotional pain are just some of the issues many people feel overwhelmed by and struggle with on a daily basis. Oftentimes, people begin to accept these feelings as part of their normal life. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe space where clients can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings, disappointments, and fears without judgment. Everyone faces their own set of struggles, but that does not mean you have to face them alone.

I graduated from Texas Wesleyan University with a Master of Arts Degree in Professional Counseling. I have worked in private practice with individuals that are struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, domestic violence, relationship conflict, gender and sexual identity issues, LGBTQ+ issues, as well as personality, mood, and adjustment disorders. Prior to working in private practice, I worked in community health and provided therapy to individuals negatively affected by sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger management issues, bipolar disorder, self-esteem issues, and eating disorders.

I work with adults and use an integrative approach to therapy. I encourage clients to express their feelings and help them develop insight into themselves and into their relationships with others. My belief is that each client is the expert on their own life. I believe developing a unique and collaborative approach to therapy provides the most favorable outcome.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes – online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and clinical experience indicate that remote sessions produce meaningful benefits for these kinds of issues.

One major advantage of virtual therapy is the flexibility it offers. Clients can choose the mode of connection that suits them best: video sessions, phone conversations, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care.

Each therapist providing online services is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, the combination of evidence-based results and practical convenience makes online therapy a useful option to consider.
