About Lisa

Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Colorado and is working on a PhD in Psychology at Northcentral University. She teaches psychology at a community college and has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and life transitions.

Lisa focuses on straightforward, practical work. She helps people notice what’s not working and then practice small changes between sessions. She uses tools clients can try right away and checks progress in follow-up conversations. Therapy is collaborative - Lisa treats the person as the expert on their own life.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior skills, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, and client-centered conversation. That mix supports clearer thinking, better emotion management, improved relationships, and changing habits that cause distress. She also brings experience with first responder stress and caregiving strain.

Outside clinical work she hikes, paints, reads, and spends time with her dog, Luna. She mentions travel with her husband and enjoys being in the Colorado outdoors. Those personal interests inform an easygoing, practical manner in sessions.

For young adults coping with leaving home, work or school stress, relationship shifts, identity questions, or feeling behind, Lisa offers focused help on stress, self-esteem, coping with change, and addiction-related concerns. The initial step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session to discuss goals and next steps.

How her main approaches work in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and practice actions that match those values. It is often useful for anxiety, feeling stuck, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is frequently used for anxiety, depression, and habit change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using exercises and worksheets during or between sessions so clients can practice skills in daily life.
