About Lisa
Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor with twenty years of experience in Colorado. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Colorado and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and she is pursuing a PhD in Psychology.
Lisa balances clinical work with teaching psychology at a community college and enjoys hiking, painting, reading, and time with her dog, Luna. Lisa takes a practical, down-to-earth approach in sessions.
Background and approach
She meets people where they are and looks for strengths to build on. She gives simple tools clients can use between meetings and treats the counseling relationship as a collaboration. Clients lead the work and set the goals they want to reach.
Her practice addresses common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and issues with self-esteem. She also helps people who are struggling with addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and family problems, and anger. Lisa has experience supporting first responders and people facing major life changes.
In sessions she mixes skills training with reflective conversation. She uses methods that focus on thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and values to help make change feel manageable. The aim is to help people see small shifts that add up to real progress.
Lisa describes her role as guiding and coaching. She offers plain language, steady support, and actionable steps so clients can practice new ways of coping and relating between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while tolerating difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and habits that someone wants to change.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches and are adjusted over time based on what is working.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video visits allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of coping skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching, homework support, or when a shorter interaction fits a busy day. Together these options make it easier to fit counseling into varied schedules and life demands.
