Ronald Baptist, LPC

Ronald Baptist is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 32 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, parenting pressures, sleep and eating issues, and anger. He also addresses career concerns, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes and coaching needs.

His approach draws on several practical therapies. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that fuel strong reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness. He also employs Trauma-Focused Therapy and EMDR where past events continue to cause distress.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He helps people name what’s going on, practice new ways of responding, and try small experiments between meetings. He also works on communication skills, boundary setting, and strategies for better sleep and eating habits.

Over three decades he has supported people from a range of backgrounds, including veterans and first responders, and those dealing with workplace stress. His work often addresses family of origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, codependency and forgiveness concerns.

Practical steps are emphasized. Expect clear tools, repeated skill practice, and regular review of progress. People who want to handle anger and chronic frustration in everyday life will find concrete techniques and a steady, experience-based approach.
