About Lisa

Lisa Hutchinson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of clinical experience based in Utah. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, career pressure, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she also notes work related to caregiver stress and women's health concerns.

Her style is interactive and straightforward. She uses client-centered conversation to understand what matters most to each person. Lisa combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to help people spot patterns and try small, practical changes.

In early work she spent time supporting teens with substance issues and provided behavioral health care for people with chronic pain. She has also worked with couples and individuals navigating fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, and with people dealing with co-occurring health and mental health problems.

Typical sessions involve setting clear goals and experimenting with manageable steps between meetings. Lisa uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what they want and to reduce resistance to change. She aims for direct talk about behaviors, triggers, and what gets in the way of calmer responses.

People who come for anger concerns often focus on reducing reactive responses at home and work, repairing relationships after outbursts, or managing built-up resentment. Lisa frames progress as steady practice rather than a quick fix, and she works with clients to track what works in day-to-day life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Lisa commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce reactive anger. It is useful for workplace frustration, rumination, and habits that lead to outbursts. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to resolve mixed feelings about change; it helps people find personal reasons to try different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods over time. She treats approach selection as a shared decision so clients can try techniques and keep what helps.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins after a difficult event, or avoid commuting on a work break. They also support continuing the work between in-person visits when that fits someone’s schedule.
