About Lisa

Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Colorado and is pursuing a PhD in Psychology. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief, and codependency among other concerns.

Lisa teaches psychology at a community college and blends teaching with clinical work. She likes practical tools that people can use between sessions. She treats the client as the expert in their own life and works together with them to identify strengths and small steps forward.

Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions often include skill-building, communication practice, and strategies to manage emotions and urges that get in the way of everyday life.

Lisa often helps people who feel stuck after a life change, who struggle with saying no, or who repeatedly put others first. She also has experience supporting people with substance use and behavioral addictions and with first responder concerns.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys hiking, painting, reading, and time with her dog, Luna. She lives in Colorado and brings a straightforward, skills-focused style to sessions that aims for practical progress over time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name values and take small actions toward them while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and patterns of people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help when strong emotions lead to impulsive behavior or relationship conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She brings tools from ACT, CBT, and DBT and helps clients try approaches and adjust as needed based on what works for them.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments and reducing travel time. If you want to know which session formats are offered now, confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid commuting, or have therapy without needing to be on camera for every appointment.
