Lisa La Rose , LPC

Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 20 years of clinical experience. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Colorado and is currently pursuing a PhD in Psychology at Northcentral University. In addition to her clinical work, she teaches psychology courses at a community college. The LPC credential denotes state licensure to provide professional mental health counseling.

Born and raised in Colorado, she values time outdoors and often spends free moments hiking, reading, painting, or playing with her dog, Luna. She also enjoys traveling with her husband. Those personal interests inform a grounded, relatable approach to therapy that respects each person�s unique context.

Lisa�s counseling philosophy emphasizes meeting clients where they are and identifying strengths that support meaningful change. She views therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is the expert on their life and the therapist provides compassionate, practical tools to use between sessions. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, addictions and substance use, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief and life transitions, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting and career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She has experience working with first responders and with behavioral addictions such as gambling and disordered eating. Lisa integrates evidence-based methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor care to each person�s goals. She honors the courage it takes to seek help and is committed to supporting clients as they take the next steps in their journey.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them, learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take actions that align with personal values. It often supports work with anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions by shifting the focus from symptom control to meaningful living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; it offers practical skills to reframe thinking patterns and change unhelpful behaviors, often used for depression, anxiety, habit change, and sleep concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and can be helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, abandonment fears, and family or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients and helps determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies from these approaches to match each person�s situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexible options for engagement - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can access support from home or while balancing work, family, and travel. These remote formats allow for continuity during life changes, offer different ways to receive tools and exercises, and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still working with a licensed professional.
