Lisa La Rose, LPC

Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has been practicing since 2001. She trained in psychology and counseling at the University of Colorado and is pursuing a PhD in Psychology. She also teaches psychology at a community college and often brings that classroom clarity into sessions.

She prefers a down-to-earth and practical style. Lisa meets people where they are and helps them notice strengths they already have. She gives tools to use between sessions so progress can continue outside therapy.

Her work commonly addresses stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and midlife transitions. She also helps people who struggle with trauma, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting stress, and career concerns. First responder issues are part of her experience as well.

Lisa draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, acceptance-based strategies to focus on valued living, and attachment-informed ways to look at relationship patterns. Her style blends compassion with practical steps that aim for noticeable change.

Outside of clinical work, Lisa enjoys hiking, painting, reading, and spending time with her dog, Luna. She lives in Colorado with her husband and brings personal curiosity and warmth to her therapeutic collaborations.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them. It helps with anxiety, depression, and times when life feels stalled by guiding choices that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa uses a collaborative process to figure out what fits a client's goals, needs, and preferences. She integrates techniques from different approaches so sessions respond to what is actually helping the person.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care around work, family, and travel. It can allow shorter check-ins, reduce commuting time, and make scheduling more flexible for people with busy or unpredictable days. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions so clients still receive tools they can practice during the week.
