About Lisa
Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical work in Colorado. She trained in psychology and counseling at the University of Colorado and is currently pursuing a PhD in Psychology. Lisa also teaches psychology at a local community college and brings both classroom and clinical experience to her work.
She prefers a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. Lisa aims to meet people where they are and to find the strengths they already have. She focuses on helping clients make changes in feelings, behaviors, and thinking while offering tools they can use between sessions.
Lisa has worked with many common concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem. She also supports people who want to change repetitive habits and addictive behaviors, including substance use and behavioral addictions. First responders are among the groups she has experience working alongside.
Relationship struggles and communication problems are often part of the issues people bring. Lisa helps people practice clearer communication, set boundaries, and become more assertive in personal and professional life. She also assists clients coping with grief, major life changes, and transitions, helping them identify possibilities as they move forward.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses practical exercises, mindfulness, and collaborative planning so work in sessions translates into daily life. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, painting, reading, and spending time with her dog, Luna.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, then focus on actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation to change habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical exercises and skills to test new ways of responding; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness; it can be useful for mood instability, anger, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can evolve as you try different techniques together and notice what helps.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow sessions from wherever you have a quieter moment, and it can let people try exercises and skills in everyday contexts. Because formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know what is offered and how it will fit your schedule.
