Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb, LPC

Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb is an LPC with 34 years of counseling experience based in Colorado. She has worked extensively around issues of human sexuality and relationship concerns, and lists anger, anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and life changes among the areas she addresses.

She has a long history working in sexual health settings and private practice. That background includes counseling around contraception and sexually transmitted infection care, and more than two decades focused on alternative sexual cultures such as kink and non-monogamous arrangements. She also names work with LGBT matters, gender dysphoria, and sexual function concerns.

In sessions she emphasizes building a strong connection first, believing good therapeutic work depends on trust between the person and the clinician. Her stated approach involves helping people notice and change unhelpful beliefs that interfere with sexual expression and relationships. She frames shame, embarrassment, guilt, and fear as common barriers to address.

Practically, she uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, hypnotherapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods are applied to problems like relationship conflicts, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life transitions.

People who want straightforward, practical conversations about intimacy, anger, or sexual concerns may find this approach direct and focused on tangible changes. The emphasis is on understanding patterns, trying specific strategies, and moving toward clearer choices in relationships and sexual expression.
