Lisa Hutchinson

Lisa Hutchinson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and issues related to parenting and career changes. She also addresses addictions, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and concerns that often affect women such as fertility and pregnancy related stress. Lisa speaks English and Spanish and practices in Utah as an LCSW and CSW. Her style is warm and interactive. She aims for respectful, sensitive conversations without labels. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than abstract theory. Lisa adapts each plan to fit a person's life and priorities. Clinically she blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and brief solution-focused methods. That means clients can expect listening that follows their lead, techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and short-term methods to set and reach specific goals. Motivational interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons to change when motivation feels low. Over six years of practice includes time with teenagers facing substance use and work as a behavioral health provider supporting people with chronic pain and health-related challenges. Lisa has also supported couples through fertility and medical-system navigation. People who choose her can expect direct, practical steps and collaborative planning. Sessions aim to help someone cope with life changes, rebuild self-worth, and manage daily stressors while working toward clearer goals.

How therapy approaches can work online

Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person's goals and experience, with the therapist following their lead and offering support. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, structured skill practice, or brief solution-focused steps to reach concrete aims.

The practical upside of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule around work, childcare, or medical appointments. Phone or video options can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and help maintain continuity when routines change. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available options before booking so you can plan what will work best for you.
