About Lisa
Lisa Hutchinson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of experience in therapy and life coaching. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Lisa also focuses on caregiver stress, fertility and pregnancy concerns, and issues common to young adults and women. She conducts sessions in English and Spanish and practices in Utah.
Her approach is interactive and straightforward. She uses client-centered conversation to understand what matters most to each person. Lisa brings cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify patterns that keep problems going and to build practical skills for day-to-day coping.
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find what motivates change and solution-focused methods to set short-term, achievable goals. In sessions, conversations are direct and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what can be tried between meetings. Lisa avoids diagnostic labels that feel stigmatizing and prefers clear steps and honest dialogue.
Her background includes work with people experiencing substance use issues and chronic health concerns, plus time supporting women navigating fertility and medical systems. That experience informs how she talks about medical and life-change stressors. Sessions aim to help people manage immediate pressures and take small steps toward more manageable routines.

How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change, which can be useful for relationship and parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, anger, and habits related to addiction or stress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people identify their own reasons for change and strengthens commitment to small steps. It is often helpful when someone is uncertain about making changes or when motivation fluctuates.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them as needed over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these options to help clients practice skills between meetings and keep momentum on real-life problems.
