Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She trained in Colorado, holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Colorado, and has been licensed since 2001. She also teaches psychology at a community college and is working toward a PhD in Psychology.
Lisa prefers a practical, down-to-earth style. She meets people where they are and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on tools clients can use between meetings as well as in the session itself. She sees the counseling relationship as a collaboration where the client is the expert on their life.
Her work covers common challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma recovery, and changing unhelpful habits. She has supported people dealing with addictions, grief, relationship problems, and career stress. She also has experience with first responders and the stresses that role can bring.
Lisa draws on several evidence-based approaches to help clients get practical results. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage emotions and build values-based action.
Outside of work she enjoys hiking, painting, reading, and time with her dog, Luna. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, aimed at helping people make meaningful changes in their daily lives.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take committed action toward those values. Online ACT sessions often focus on clarifying goals, practicing mindfulness skills, and planning small steps to create change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. In online CBT sessions clients learn skills, complete short between-session exercises, and review progress together. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing strong feelings and relationship stress. Delivered online, DBT skills training can help with managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Session format options are not listed here, so please confirm current online session choices before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it convenient to practice skills from home and to use brief exercises between meetings to keep momentum going.
She works with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, trauma, addictions, grief, relationship and family issues, sleep and eating concerns, anger, career stress, ADHD, and related problems.
