Lisa Fehr, LMHC

Lisa Fehr is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Iowa with 12 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and significant life changes. She has worked with individuals who struggle with focus and attention related to ADHD and emphasizes a strengths-based approach that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story. Lisa frames the decision to pursue therapy as an act of courage and aims to help clients move toward a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

Using a client-centered orientation, Lisa creates a supportive environment that prioritizes the client’s goals and perspectives while offering guidance and validation. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and she teaches practical techniques in relaxation, coping, and stress management to improve daily functioning. Lisa also draws on solution-focused strategies to help clients set achievable goals and map concrete steps based on their existing strengths and any new skills they choose to explore. Throughout the work she emphasizes empowerment, collaborative planning, and skill-building so clients can make meaningful changes over time.

Approaches and Online Therapy with Lisa Fehr

Lisa Fehr uses client-centered therapy to place the client’s experience and goals at the center of treatment. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel supported while exploring personal challenges and values. It is helpful for those facing life transitions, relationship concerns, or general stress and uncertainty.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core method in her work. CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it offers practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, panic symptoms, and difficulties with focus. Mindfulness-based strategies are also incorporated to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can assist with stress, impulsivity, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds. Online therapy makes these options accessible through flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their schedule and comfort level while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
