Lisa La Rose

Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 20 years of clinical experience. She trained in psychology and counseling at the University of Colorado and is pursuing a PhD in Psychology. Lisa also teaches psychology at a community college and brings that teaching mindset into sessions.

She prefers a down-to-earth, practical style. Lisa meets people where they are and looks for strengths they already have. She gives simple tools to try between sessions so change can begin right away rather than waiting for weeks.

Her work covers many everyday struggles. Lisa helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and challenges around relationships and family. She also supports those facing job changes, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and first responder concerns.

Lisa uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on mindfulness practices, acceptance-oriented techniques, attachment-focused work, client-centered skills, and cognitive-behavioral methods. Sessions focus on skills you can use and on understanding what gets in the way of lasting change.

Outside of therapy she enjoys Colorado's outdoors, painting, reading, and hiking with her dog, Luna. She describes counseling as a collaborative process where the client is the expert in their life and the counselor helps map the next steps.

How mindfulness, ACT, and attachment work online

Mindfulness work helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It often uses simple breathing and awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and ease anxiety or stress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed actions toward them. It helps when avoidance or stuck thinking gets in the way of living a meaningful life.

Attachment-based approaches look at how past relationships shape current patterns. This work is useful for improving communication, handling intimacy concerns, and changing repetitive relational cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals use the same therapeutic skills online as in person to teach tools, practice new behaviors, and support change.
