About Rhoda
Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Colorado with 34 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sexual concerns, grief, trauma and life transitions. She also works with people navigating gender dysphoria, non-monogamous relationships, and other sexuality-related topics.
Dr. Lipscomb began her career in reproductive health clinics providing counseling and education around sexuality and sexual health. Over the years she moved into private practice and has spent decades working with adults on sexual concerns and relationship patterns. Her background includes training in several clinical approaches, and she brings that variety into session work.
In sessions she aims to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and then try different ways of responding. She uses practical tools to reduce anxiety and to clarify relationship and sexual concerns. Conversations are direct and focused on concrete steps people can take between appointments.
She has particular experience with alternative sexual cultures, including kink and BDSM, and with people exploring polyamory, gender questions, or sexual dysfunction. Shame and fear around sexuality are addressed through straightforward discussion and skill practice.
People who choose her often want clear techniques and a steady problem-solving approach. She works with sexual identity, intimacy issues, and common mood concerns such as depression and anger. Sessions look at thinking patterns, behaviors, and small experiments to test changes.
Prospective clients are encouraged to consider how practical, skills-based work fits their needs and to use initial contacts to ask about style, scheduling, and what to expect in early sessions.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Lipscomb uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small, manageable steps and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action rather than attempting to eliminate difficult feelings. ACT can help with stress, life transitions, and making values-based decisions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try approaches that fit those priorities. That collaborative process shapes whether sessions emphasize thought records, behavioral experiments, acceptance exercises, or solution-focused check-ins.
If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use quieter surroundings, minimize bandwidth demands, or skip video when that helps them engage.
