About Lisa
Lisa Hutchinson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting challenges, grief, and relationship difficulties. She speaks English and Spanish and brings six years of hands-on experience supporting people through life changes and parenting concerns. Her style is warm and interactive.
She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit daily life rather than abstract theories.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and respectful. Lisa uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused approaches to help people shift unhelpful thinking and try small, manageable changes. She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
These methods are mixed to suit each person’s needs and preferences. Early in her career she worked with people facing substance use and with those managing chronic health issues. She has experience supporting people through fertility and pregnancy-related stress and through caregiving strain.
That background informs a down-to-earth approach to complicated life problems. In sessions she aims to reduce shame and blame and to help people build practical routines. Conversations may include skill-building for coping, strategies for parenting stress, and steps to improve mood and motivation.
She encourages realistic plans that fit a person’s daily responsibilities. People can expect a collaborative process that focuses on small, achievable changes. Lisa frames therapy as a place to learn, try new ways of coping, and move toward clearer priorities and greater self-care.

Approach-focused online care for parenting and life stress
Lisa combines cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety or low mood, and it is useful for managing stress, depression, and parenting-related worries. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes short-term, practical steps and builds on what is already working to create small, achievable changes in daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan together based on what helps. Clients take an active role in deciding which methods feel most useful for their situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for full sessions that mimic in-person meetings. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, brief coaching, or when someone needs flexible check-ins during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and other responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical progress.
