About Leo
Leo Lyon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of clinical experience based in Nevada. He works with common concerns such as low self-esteem, career stress, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses related issues like attachment concerns, communication difficulties, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clear skills. He uses approaches that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. Conversations aim to make everyday problems more manageable and to build on what already works in a person’s life.
His approach blends techniques from evidence-based therapies with storytelling methods. That means there is attention to skills for managing intense feelings, exploring the stories people tell about themselves, and clarifying values that guide decisions. The work often includes short exercises to practice between sessions.
Leo trained in psychology at the University of Nevada Las Vegas and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He brings a trauma-informed, strength-focused perspective to sessions and pays attention to how past experiences shape present behavior.
Sessions are offered in English and Tagalog. Because insurance paneling affects billing, he is out of network with United Health and Optum plans. People interested in starting are invited to review online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches and online sessions connect
Leo draws on evidence-based methods that focus on skills and personal meaning. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-style skills help people manage strong emotions and respond differently in stressful moments, which can reduce avoidance and reactive behavior. Narrative therapy techniques help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and try alternative, more helpful narratives that support clearer choices.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Leo treats the selection of methods as collaborative, adjusting what they try based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as clients test skills and reflect on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a workday or busy schedule and making it easier to attend from different locations. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time, let them keep appointments during a busy week, and make short check-ins easier to schedule.
