About Lisa
Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience. She trained in Colorado and has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Lisa aims to give practical tools that clients can use between sessions to make steady progress.
She takes a straightforward and compassionate approach. Sessions are collaborative - the person attending is treated as the expert on their life.
Background and approach
Lisa focuses on helping people shift thoughts, habits, and behaviors that feel stuck so they can move toward goals they choose. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Colorado, and she is pursuing a PhD in Psychology. She also teaches psychology at a community college.
That mix of classroom and clinical work shapes her emphasis on evidence-based methods and clear, usable strategies. In practice she blends approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-informed work to fit each person’s needs.
She often helps with issues such as trauma recovery, self-esteem, relationship communication, substance use and behavioral addictions, and stress linked to caregiving or first responder roles. Outside of work Lisa is a Colorado native who enjoys hiking, painting, reading, and time with her dog, Luna.
She describes therapy as a partnership and aims to offer tools that create change both in session and in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Lisa commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice tough thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on taking steps that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to select methods that fit. Sessions can shift methods over time so the plan stays useful and relevant to the person’s needs.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or irregular schedules, while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
