About Rhoda
Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb brings more than three decades of counseling experience to her practice. She holds the LPC credential and works from Colorado.
She writes plainly about building a strong connection first, because trust makes therapy useful. She has long worked in human sexuality and related concerns. Early work included counseling in reproductive health settings and later independent practice focused on alternative sexual cultures.
Over the years she has helped people with anxiety, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and nonjudgmental. She helps people name the beliefs that get in the way, notice how those ideas affect their choices, and try new ways of managing feelings and relationships. Sessions often involve talking through specific situations and setting small, doable goals.
She also addresses sexuality-related topics such as kink, consensual non-monogamy, sexual function, gender dysphoria, and questions that arise during divorce or separation. The work aims to reduce shame and replace rigid rules with clearer personal values and actions. Dr.
Lipscomb uses a mix of methods depending on what a person needs. She emphasizes collaboration and clear steps rather than vague theory. Many people find this straightforward focus helpful when facing stress, career decisions, or major life changes.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action that matches those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where choices feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a strong working relationship so people feel understood and can explore worries and goals at their own pace.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or other formats are supported. The focus is on practical steps and clear goals that can be worked on between sessions to help daily life feel more manageable.
