About Rhoda
Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb brings more than three decades of clinical experience to her work in Colorado. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 34 years in counseling, and she focuses on sexuality, relationships, stress, anxiety, grief, and anger.
Dr. Lipscomb writes plainly: a strong connection and trust make therapy effective. She aims to create that connection so people can make real changes.
She has a long history working in reproductive health settings and independent practice.
Background and approach
Early in her career she provided education and counseling in clinics such as Planned Parenthood. For more than 20 years she has worked with people from alternative sexuality communities, including open relationships, LGBTQ issues, BDSM and kink, and other non-normative sexual interests. Her sessions emphasize acceptance and clearer thinking about sexual identity and behavior.
She helps people name shame, embarrassment, or guilt and replace old beliefs with more useful ones. That work often links to relationship concerns, intimacy, and everyday stress. Dr.
Lipscomb uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside techniques such as hypnotherapy and solution-focused work. She adapts methods to the issue at hand so clients can build coping strategies and clearer goals. People who find her a fit tend to want practical conversation about sex, relationships, and anger without judgment.
The focus is on understanding personal values, resolving stuck patterns, and finding behaviors that match what matters to each person.

Approaches that translate to online work
Dr. Lipscomb often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small, actionable steps toward them. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and practicing behaviors that match what matters most.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions emphasize empathy and listening. This approach helps people feel understood while they sort through relationship and sexuality questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool in her work; CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailor the methods used. Clients can expect the therapist to review how a method is working and adjust the plan when needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people work through sexuality, relationship, and anger concerns from locations that are convenient and consistent with daily routines.
