About Lisa

Lisa Fehr is an Iowa-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She also lists ADHD among her practice focuses and works with concerns such as impulsivity, communication difficulties, social anxiety, panic attacks, and feelings of isolation. Lisa emphasizes a strengths-based outlook, inviting clients to build on their existing resources as they move toward clearer goals and greater wellbeing.

Her style centers on client-centered therapy, offering supportive and collaborative care that treats each person as the expert on their own life. She pairs that orientation with cognitive behavioral tools to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and with mindfulness-informed exercises to develop present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills.

Practical strategies include relaxation techniques, coping skills, and stepwise goal-setting that reflect a client’s priorities and capabilities. Sessions aim to empower change at a sustainable pace while respecting each individual’s values and preferences.

Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration, helping people feel heard and respected while they identify what they want to change and build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts and behaviors interact, offering practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity and enhance stress management.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works together with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative stance means plans can be adjusted over time as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access consistent support without rearranging major parts of daily life, and they allow clients to practice skills between sessions in ways that fit their routine.
