About Rhoda
Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Colorado with 34 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges around sexuality and gender. Sessions address practical problems people bring from daily life and from their relationships.
With a long background in sexual health and counseling, she has provided education and clinical support in reproductive health settings and private practice. That experience shaped her work with clients from alternative sexual cultures and with diverse relationship styles. She also helps people facing divorce, career changes, and other major life transitions.
Her style is straightforward and client-focused. She emphasizes building a real working connection first, and uses methods that help people change how they think and act. Therapy can include talking through troubling beliefs, trying new behaviors, and learning skills to lower reactivity when stress or anger flares.
Dr. Lipscomb uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help identify thought patterns that fuel anxiety or anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify values and take action around them. Solution-focused work can speed practical problem solving.
She has decades of experience working with sexual concerns such as intimacy problems, non-monogamous relationships, kink and BDSM topics, sexual dysfunction, and gender dysphoria. People who come for help with resentment, workplace frustration, or trouble managing temper find straightforward strategies and concrete practice in sessions.
Approaches used online and how they fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It can help people who want to stop getting stuck in anger or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns that lead to repeated outbursts or anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and emphasizes being heard while deciding practical next steps.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit the problem at hand. Sessions can shift over time if a different technique seems more useful.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and letting people schedule shorter check-ins when needed. Some methods translate well to virtual work, such as CBT exercises, values-based planning from ACT, and focused solution work, making it possible to practice skills between appointments and bring those experiences back to therapy.
