Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb

Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb brings more than three decades of clinical experience to her counseling work. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who has spent many years helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, anger, and changes in life direction. She also focuses on sexual concerns including sexuality, sexual dysfunction, and non-traditional relationship structures. Her path began in reproductive health settings, where she counseled about healthy sexuality, contraception, and sexually transmitted infection care. Over time she moved into private practice and has worked in sexuality and intimacy for over 20 years. That background shapes how she talks with people about sensitive topics and relationship patterns. In sessions she aims to build a strong connection first, because she believes trust is essential for useful work. Conversations blend practical strategies with discussion of values and goals. She helps clients notice unhelpful beliefs, try different responses, and choose steps that match what matters to them. Dr. Lipscomb uses several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, and hypnotherapy. She draws from these methods when addressing issues such as trauma, intimacy problems, and self-esteem. People often come for help with relationship strain, managing anger, coping with life transitions, or navigating alternative sexual cultures. She supports exploration of identity and desire in a nonjudgmental way and works with clients toward clearer choices and improved daily functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values. It often focuses on building psychological flexibility and handling difficult thoughts so daily life feels more purposeful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead to promote self-understanding and growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what methods might fit best. That collaboration helps tailor sessions and adjust strategies over time as needs change.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick touch base is helpful. Different approaches adapt well to remote work: ACT and CBT translate into exercises, values work, and skill practice that can be done between sessions, while Client-Centered conversations support processing and reflection in scheduled visits. Licensed professionals can help arrange a plan that fits daily routines and practical constraints.
