Ashlyn La Rose, LCSW, CSW

Ashlyn La Rose is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction concerns. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions are designed to be calm, straightforward, and focused on goals that matter to the person in front of her.

Ashlyn uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on client-centered skills to listen closely and build trust. When emotions feel overwhelming, she pulls from dialectical behavior therapy strategies to teach coping skills that stabilize mood and reduce reactivity.

Her work includes support for people dealing with compassion fatigue, dissociation, domestic violence, and substance concerns such as drug and alcohol addiction. She also helps people facing life transitions, postpartum depression, panic attacks, personality challenges, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging, which lets people choose what fits their schedule. Starting is a simple process that begins with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. It focuses on specific problems and gives concrete tools to try between sessions.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens and follows the person's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and then choose goals that matter to them.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It is useful when intense mood swings, impulsivity, or chronic stress get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and the problems you want to solve, and together you will decide which approaches to use. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a close, face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is low. Live chat and messaging let people send short updates, share progress, or check in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to attend therapy around work, childcare, or travel plans.
