About Lisa

Lisa La Rose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 20 years of experience. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Colorado and is working toward a PhD in Psychology. Lisa works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and other life transitions.

She teaches psychology at a community college in addition to clinical work. Her style is practical and collaborative. Lisa focuses on what clients can do between sessions as much as what happens in them. She offers tools clients can try right away to change feelings, habits, or thinking patterns.

Lisa uses a mix of research-based approaches to match the problem at hand. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-informed ideas when relationships and values are central to the work.

Her background includes work with people affected by substance use and behavioral addictions, first responder stress, and mood disorders. She helps people who struggle with communication problems, commitment and control issues, codependency, body image, and caregiver stress. She also supports adults dealing with intimacy-related concerns, sleeping or eating problems, and career stress.

Lisa describes therapy as a partnership where the client is the expert on their life. She aims to find practical strategies that fit into daily routines and to help clients try new approaches that feel manageable.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers simple, structured exercises that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, and angry reactions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and take small committed actions even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT techniques often involve brief exercises and values-based planning that fit well into regular online sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences and adapts the plan as work progresses. Clients and therapist review what is and isn't working and make practical adjustments together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about the session structure and length when you schedule so sessions align with your everyday routine.
