Lisa La Rose , LPC

Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a compassionate, practical approach to helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions. She draws on more than two decades of clinical experience and emphasizes collaboration - working with clients to identify existing strengths and build concrete tools they can use between sessions.

Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Colorado, she is also pursuing doctoral study in psychology at Northcentral University and teaches psychology courses at a community college. Her clinical work blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, and acceptance-based approaches, along with mindfulness-informed techniques and meaning-focused interventions.

A native Coloradan, Lisa values time outdoors and often finds balance through hiking, reading, painting, and playing with her dog, Luna. She enjoys traveling with her husband and brings a grounded, relatable perspective to therapy.

Her practice centers on meeting clients where they are, helping them make changes they want to see, and offering practical tools that produce early benefits. She views the counseling relationship as a partnership and respects clients as the experts in their own lives. As Viktor Frankl observed, when situations cannot be changed, individuals are invited to change themselves - a principle that informs her work with clients seeking lasting, meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa La Rose integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate choices, supporting values-driven action when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and disruptive habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and invites clients to evaluate what works for them so treatment remains client-centered and goal-focused.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to licensed professionals. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from familiar surroundings while working toward meaningful change.
