About Lisa

Lisa Tuthill is a licensed professional counselor who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting concerns. She works to create a calm, approachable space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Lisa explains things plainly and keeps sessions practical so people can try tools between appointments.

Lisa uses short-term strategies and mindfulness practices to help clients build skills. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and from Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when skills for emotion regulation are needed.

Background and approach

Solution-Focused ideas help set clear, achievable goals and track progress. With 12 years as a licensed counselor, Lisa brings steady experience to common life transitions and trauma-related problems. She is licensed in Wyoming as WY LPC 1309 and lives in California while working with clients across regions.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Her sessions often include breathing and grounding exercises, simple behavior changes, and focused conversations about values and next steps. Lisa describes her work as collaborative - she matches tools to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

People who prefer practical, skills-focused work tend to find her style helpful. She also integrates mindfulness to reduce overwhelm and improve clarity. The aim is clearer choices and small, steady changes that fit real life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following each person’s pace. It helps when someone needs a therapist who respects their values and lets them guide the conversation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where emotion regulation feels overwhelming. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple grounding and present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online therapy brings practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions suit days when video is hard, and live chat or text messaging offers short, on-the-go support between appointments. These options make it easier to use therapy tools in real time and fit sessions into busy routines.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
