About Rhoda
Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb brings more than three decades of counseling experience to her work. She began in reproductive health clinics and has spent over 20 years in independent practice focused on human sexuality and related concerns.
Dr. Lipscomb uses a straightforward, respectful style and emphasizes building a strong working connection before moving into specific techniques. Clients can expect conversations that connect thoughts, feelings, and body responses.
She helps people name what they are feeling, reduce shame, and take small steps toward change.
Background and approach
Issues often addressed include stress, anxiety, relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, grief, anger, career questions, and coping with life transitions. Her practice includes work around sexual concerns and diverse sexual cultures such as BDSM, kink, alternative sex culture, open or non-monogamous relationships, gender questions, and sexual dysfunction. She also supports people navigating divorce, separation, and questions about life purpose.
Dr. Lipscomb aims to make sexual topics easier to talk about without judgment. Therapeutic tools come from several approaches, including somatic methods that link body sensations to emotion, acceptance and commitment ideas that focus on values and action, and client-centered listening that follows the person’s lead.
Cognitive strategies and hypnotherapy are also part of the toolbox when useful. Dr. Lipscomb holds a Master of Science in Counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Colorado.
She works in English and also accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching form and scheduling follow after selecting the Start Therapy button.
How somatic work and action-focused therapy translate online
Somatic Therapy connects body sensations to emotions and behavior. It helps people notice where tension shows up, practice grounding and movement, and use bodily signals to track progress. This can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses, and intimacy concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions. It helps when people feel stuck by teaching simple skills to act toward what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and following the person’s pace, creating space to speak openly about sensitive topics like sexuality or relationship choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying body-based practices alongside values-focused exercises and straightforward problem-solving.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks or evenings. It also lets people use phone or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. Discuss format preferences during the intake so sessions can be arranged to suit practical needs.
