Anxiety
Worry that never quite switches off, treated with practical CBT so your days feel steadier.
Online Therapy Throughout Colorado
Whether you're dodging Front Range traffic or facing the long drive from a Western Slope town, a licensed psychologist can see children and adolescents, along with adults, couples, families, and seniors, on screen.

Request a Colorado appointmentAccessing steady psychological care in Colorado often means contending with geography. Whether you are an adult trying to avoid a punishing commute on I-25 from Fort Collins to Denver, or a family in a mountain community like Durango where specialized options for a struggling child or adolescent are scarce, virtual visits offer a practical alternative. You receive the same dedicated hour with a licensed psychologist without losing half your day to the highway, making it easier for parents and kids to keep appointments.
This format also respects the realities of Colorado winters and changing family seasons. When a snowstorm closes the passes or makes local roads unpredictable, an in-person plan can stall, whereas online therapy remains stable. We can maintain a consistent weekly rhythm with a couple working from home in Boulder, an older adult waiting out a storm in Steamboat Springs, or retirees in Grand Junction and Colorado Springs. Wherever you are in the state, the conversation continues without interruption.
Online Therapy Services in Colorado
Our practice frequently addresses the six areas below for clients logging in from Colorado. We focus on continuous, purposeful care rather than isolated check-ins.
Anxiety, Stress & Social Phobia
We approach anxiety by carefully dismantling the avoidance that keeps it strong. Rather than just talking about worry, we design manageable, concrete steps to help you reclaim the activities and places you have been stepping around.
Mindfulness & Burnout Prevention
Burnout is more than exhaustion; it is a profound depletion of meaning. We examine the punishing internal standards driving your schedule and build sustainable boundaries that protect your time and energy.
Trauma, PTSD & Complex Trauma
Therapy for long-standing trauma prioritizes establishing safety first. We focus heavily on emotional regulation and reliable sleep before deliberately, and only with your full consent, addressing the underlying memories.
ADHD & Executive Functioning
Many adults mask their attention struggles until they are completely depleted. We work on building practical external systems for task initiation and time management, while also addressing the heavy self-criticism that often accompanies these challenges.
Sleep Problems
Restless nights are rarely solved in bed. We evaluate the entire cycle of your day—caffeine, activity, light, and the anxious mental loops that start at dusk—to rebuild a reliable foundation for sleep.
Addictions, Recovery & Codependency
Substance use often relies on unspoken family rules and ingrained interpersonal habits. Recovery work here targets relapse prevention alongside a close look at the codependent dynamics that unknowingly sustain the pattern.
Concerns We Help With
Whether you meet us by secure video or in person at our Flagstaff office, these are the concerns we most often help with.
Depression
Low mood that drains interest and energy, met with patient, structured care that rebuilds one step at a time.
Trauma
Careful, paced work for difficult experiences, with you in control of what you share and when.
ADHD assessment and coaching
Clear testing when you need answers, and practical coaching for the schedules and habits that follow.
Young adults
Support through the first years on your own: school, work, independence, and the relationships that come with them.
Burnout and stress
For professionals running on empty: therapy for the exhaustion, and coaching for the work habits underneath it.
How we work with Colorado clients
Meaningful therapy starts with a precise understanding of the problem. We spend our early meetings getting the formulation right, because a misdiagnosed issue leads to ineffective counseling. From there, we build a tailored roadmap that frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We are straightforward about the fact that we do not offer a quick fix; lasting change requires active participation and steady weekly meetings over several months. For those in Colorado, we also plan ahead for logistical disruptions. We establish clear backup protocols for bad weather or unstable internet connections, ensuring you always have coping strategies to practice even if a session needs to be adjusted.

Full biographies, training, and areas of expertise are listed on our providers page. You can also read Dr. Lusk’s licensure and credentials in full. You are welcome to ask any clinician directly about their qualifications and experience.
Telehealth licensing in Colorado
Colorado is a participating jurisdiction in the interstate telepsychology compact. This agreement allows Dr. Lusk to provide care to clients located within the state using her Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology, granted by the PSYPACT® Commission. You can verify the current list of participating states directly on the commission's website.
The crucial factor for these sessions is your physical location, not your permanent address. You must be physically present inside Colorado (or another compact state) when we meet. If you are taking a ski trip out of state or traveling for work, please let the office know in advance so we can verify if your destination is covered and adjust our schedule if necessary.
Participating jurisdictions are published by the compact commissions and can change. You can review current psychology participation at psypact.gov, find the relevant psychology licensing board through the PSYPACT® board directory, or check counseling privileges at CompactConnect. If you are not sure which applies to you, call (844) 774-7997 and we will confirm before you schedule.
Supporting Colorado students and academic staff
We regularly support the academic community, seeing students, faculty, and staff from the University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado State University, CU Denver, UCCS, the Colorado School of Mines, Fort Lewis College, and Western Colorado University, as well as private institutions like the University of Denver, Colorado College, and the Baca Campus of Colorado College. Dr. Lusk is a referral option for the University of Denver through the Welltrack Connect program offered by the school's counseling department. Finding a confidential space separate from your department can be vital.

Colorado Communities We Serve Online
Our virtual waiting room welcomes people from Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Aurora, and Grand Junction, as well as high-country and southwestern communities where specialist care is hard to find locally. We are familiar with La Plata County, the Mancos Valley, and Cortez, meaning there is no need to commute from your home in Hesperus into Durango just to see your therapist. Your zip code matters far less than having a private room and a reliable connection.
Questions Coloradans ask about online therapy
Do you see university students and faculty?
Yes. Students frequently seek help for anxiety or significant mood shifts, while faculty and staff often bring concerns about burnout, career trajectory, or family stress. Many appreciate working with a professional who has absolutely no ties to their campus.
What happens if bad weather disrupts my internet?
We prepare for this. If a storm knocks out your connection, your clinician will call the phone number we have on file so the session can continue without losing the hour. Flexibility is built into how we practice.
How exactly does a virtual appointment work?
Before your session, our office provides a secure link. At the scheduled time, you click the link on your computer or tablet from a private space—using headphones if others are nearby—and the clinician joins you. The clinical work itself remains the same as an office visit.
Can you prescribe medication if I need it?
No, because Dr. Lusk is a clinical psychologist, not a medical doctor. If medication appears to be a helpful addition to your treatment, we will discuss it with you and, with your signed release, coordinate care with your physician or a local psychiatric provider.
Where can I find information about the cost?
Our rates are sent in a fee agreement when you schedule an appointment. Please call (844) 774-7997 or email info@psychotherapy.com. Our staff will answer any out-of-network insurance questions, and handle all the logistics so your clinician can focus entirely on your care.
How to get started in Colorado
