About Lisa
Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twenty years of clinical experience. She trained at the University of Colorado and is working toward a PhD in Psychology. Lisa also teaches psychology at a community college and brings that classroom perspective into her counseling work.
She prefers a compassionate, practical style that focuses on what clients can do between sessions. Lisa looks for the strengths a person already has and helps them build on those strengths to make changes. Clients are invited to treat therapy as a collaboration where they are the expert on their life.
Her practice includes help for stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions, and she also addresses grief, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. Relationship difficulties, communication problems, and intimacy-related issues are often part of what people bring to sessions. She has worked with first responders and understands some of the pressures that job brings.
Lisa draws on a mix of approaches to match the work to the person. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior, acceptance and commitment principles to clarify values and take meaningful action, and attachment-based perspectives when relationship patterns are central.
Outside of work she enjoys hiking, painting, reading, and time with her dog, Luna. She lives in Colorado and combines clinical practice with teaching and ongoing study as she completes her PhD.

How these approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It often fits worries, anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation by focusing on action rather than only changing thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides practical exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking and change habits that get in the way of daily life.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and closeness with others. This approach can be useful when communication problems, commitment issues, or intimacy concerns are central.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients test what fits best based on their goals and preferences. Together they can adjust techniques if something isn’t helping.
Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule, and let people join from different locations without travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work for remote sessions, tailoring exercises and between-session tasks to everyday routines.
