About Lisa
Lisa Fehr is an Iowa licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, or life changes. She also helps people managing focus difficulties often labeled ADHD and those wrestling with panic, isolation, or social anxiety.
Fehr begins by treating each person as the expert on their own story. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy and solution-focused ideas to build practical skills for everyday life.
Sessions often include learning coping skills for stress and relaxation techniques. She will help identify small, concrete steps toward goals and practice them between meetings. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.
Her approach is useful for people who want to address mood symptoms, improve communication, manage impulsivity, or explore life purpose without quick fixes. She works with common concerns like panic attacks and low self-regard by combining skill practice with reflective discussion.
Clients can expect a steady, practical focus on what can be changed now. She supports building new routines and skills while evaluating what fits each person’s life. The aim is clearer options and more manageable next steps rather than guaranteed answers.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. Online sessions carry the same goal of understanding each person’s experience and priorities, so early meetings focus on what matters most to the client and how they want to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches people to spot unhelpful thoughts and to try small behavioral experiments. In online sessions this looks like reviewing recent situations, identifying thoughts and behaviors, and practicing new responses between appointments. Mindfulness Therapy offers short exercises to reduce reactivity and steady attention, which can be assigned as brief daily practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try first, adjust based on what helps, and set practical, measurable steps. The choice is based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what produces useful change in early sessions.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people try new skills within their everyday routines while keeping the focus on clear steps and skills practice.
