About Lisa
Lisa Fehr is a licensed mental health counselor in Iowa with 12 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She works from a perspective that centers the client as the expert in their own life, building on existing strengths to address difficulties such as focus challenges related to ADHD, panic symptoms, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation. Lisa emphasizes practical skill building so clients can see tangible shifts in daily functioning and mood.
Her practice blends client-centered support with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help people notice and reframe unhelpful thinking, reduce impulsive reactions, and strengthen coping strategies. She encourages goal-focused work that identifies next steps and develops relaxation, stress management, and emotion regulation skills.
The overall aim is to help clients move toward greater self-understanding, healthier habits, and clearer direction in life while honoring their personal values and pace.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and offers practical strategies to test and change those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, panic, and difficulties with impulsivity. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, allowing clients to explore goals at their own pace while the therapist reflects strengths and priorities. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation.
Determining the right approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. The therapist will work with each person to choose and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and may integrate techniques from different approaches as progress and priorities evolve.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life, allow practice of new skills between meetings, and support continuity of care when in-person options are limited.
