Deborah Landwehr

Deborah Landwehr is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Iowa. She has three years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and depression. Deborah emphasizes a respectful, person-centered approach and encourages people to draw on their own strengths.

She frames therapy as a partnership where the client is the expert on their life. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit daily life. Deborah listens closely, helps people name what matters to them, and works with each person to find workable strategies.

Deborah uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. That variety allows her to address symptoms like mood shifts, anxiety, and social worry while also supporting changes in habits and thinking.

Common topics she helps people with include caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, family problems, forgiveness, and finding life purpose. She also supports people dealing with impulsivity, self-love challenges, and social phobia.

Her practical focus means sessions may include skill-building, gentle challenges to unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. Deborah aims to make each session useful and easy to apply between meetings.
