Lisa Fehr , LMHC

Lisa Fehr is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Iowa with 12 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, anger, depression and life transitions. She brings a strengths-based, client-centered approach that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story and builds on existing abilities to address current challenges.

Her work includes specialized support for attention and focus issues commonly associated with ADHD, and she also helps with communication difficulties, impulsivity, feelings of isolation or loneliness, questions about life purpose, mood disorders, panic attacks, self-love, and social anxiety. Lisa combines practical skills training with collaborative goal-setting, teaching relaxation, coping, and stress-management techniques while encouraging realistic steps toward change.

Therapeutically she draws on Client-Centered methods to provide empathic support, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Solution-Focused strategies to set actionable goals based on a person’s strengths. Her practice emphasizes empowerment, clear skill development, and a steady, supportive presence as clients work toward more fulfilling daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lisa Fehr

Lisa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients are treated as the experts of their own lives. This approach emphasizes empathy and support while helping people explore values, strengths, and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and mood disturbances; CBT includes practical exercises and skill-building to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity, ease panic symptoms, and improve emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa works with each person to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts techniques and pacing so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from home or other convenient locations with licensed professionals and therapists guiding the work.
