Lisa Hutchinson, LCSW, CSW - Therapist in Utah

About Lisa

Lisa Hutchinson is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and grief. She also supports those coping with depression, anger, self-esteem issues, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Lisa speaks English and Spanish and practices from Utah.

Her way of working is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions are conversational and practical, so parents can talk through immediate problems and try small changes between meetings.

Background and approach

Lisa draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and build on what already works. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change.

She has six years of experience as a therapist and life coach, including work with people facing substance use and chronic health concerns. She has also supported couples through fertility and pregnancy related stresses and helped young adults navigate life transitions. In sessions she customizes the plan to each person’s needs and pace.

The focus is on practical steps parents and individuals can try right away. Lisa encourages small, steady progress rather than sudden fixes.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful, empathetic listening. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them name concerns and priorities so conversation feels useful and focused on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and offers small skills people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. If something does not feel like a good fit, adjustments can be made so work in sessions stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility helps parents and busy adults fit therapy into their schedules and try different formats for check-ins, skill practice, and problem-solving conversations.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
