Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb

Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb draws on more than three decades of clinical work to help people navigate sexual concerns, relationship shifts, and major life changes. She practices in Colorado and brings 34 years of counseling experience to conversations about intimacy, identity, and grief. Her approach centers on forming a clear, trusting connection before diving into goals and strategies.

Clients meet a therapist who talks plainly about sexuality, relationships, and the feelings that follow separation and loss. She addresses stress, anxiety, depression, and anger while also discussing topics like gender identity, non-monogamy, and sexual expression. The aim is practical change rather than jargon-heavy therapy.

Her background includes a long history in reproductive health and many years working with alternative sexuality communities. That experience shapes a direct, respectful style that reduces shame and helps people name what they want to change. Expect straightforward discussion and guidance tailored to each person’s situation.

Sessions commonly focus on shifting unhelpful beliefs, building coping skills, and setting small, achievable steps toward better relationships and self-understanding. She draws on methods that encourage clear values, present-moment choices, and problem-focused solutions. The work often moves at a pace the client sets.

People who value a candid, nonjudgmental clinician may find this approach useful when facing divorce and separation, sexual concerns, or major life transitions. The therapist helps clients clarify priorities, manage emotions, and plan practical next steps that fit their lives.

How therapy approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small actions that align with those values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and the decisions that follow divorce or separation. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful when people need a calm space to sort emotions and make plans. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which is often helpful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt them over time based on what is working.

The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow for calmer conversations without travel time. It also supports continuity of care for people who live far from the therapist or who are juggling work and family demands.
