About Rhoda
Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb brings more than three decades of counseling experience to her practice in Colorado. She emphasizes a strong working relationship as the foundation of therapy and prioritizes building trust before applying any particular method. Her work centers on helping people feel understood and accepted as they face sexuality questions, relationship struggles, anxiety, grief, and major life changes.
She began her career in reproductive health settings, providing education and counseling around sexual health. Over time she moved into private practice and has focused on sexual concerns and relationship diversity for more than 20 years. Her background includes a PhD in clinical sexology and a Master of Science in Counseling, and she holds the LPC credential.
Dr. Lipscomb uses clear, direct conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions around the client’s goals and perspective. She also brings tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when practical, and she may incorporate solution-focused techniques or somatic awareness depending on the need.
Clients often come with questions about intimacy, kink and alternative sexual cultures, gender and sexual identity, polyamory, or sexual functioning. She also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, career concerns, and coping with life transitions. Sessions are focused on reducing shame, reshaping unhelpful beliefs, and building skills for clearer communication and emotional balance.
Dr. Lipscomb speaks English and works with people who want straightforward, nonjudgmental help navigating sexuality and relationship topics alongside common mental health concerns.
Online therapy approaches and what they involve
Client-centered work focuses on the persons needs and goals and makes the clients perspective central to every session; it is useful for people wanting a respectful, listening-based process. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take action consistent with their values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for the presenting issue, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new needs appear.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a persons day. Phone sessions may be useful when lower bandwidth or a shorter meeting is preferred, while video sessions let people use nonverbal cues and face-to-face interaction. Licensed professionals can help match the format to goals and daily life so therapy feels practical and manageable.
