Leo Lyon

Leo Lyon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada with three years of experience. He helps people facing low self-esteem, career uncertainty, depression, compassion fatigue, and coping with major life changes. Leo also works with concerns like attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication and control problems, and questions about life purpose.

He uses clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Sessions look at strengths, patterns, and the stories people tell about themselves. Leo often helps clients notice what keeps them stuck and test small changes they can live with.

His approach draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy within a trauma-aware, strength-focused orientation. That means he mixes skills training, examining personal narratives, and values-based action. Sessions can include skill practice, rewriting problematic narratives, and setting small, achievable steps toward chosen values.

Leo earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Nevada Las Vegas and a master’s degree in social work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. He holds the LCSW credential. He mentions being out of network with United Health and Optum policies due to paneling restrictions.

People looking for help with direction, practical coping tools, or exploring life purpose will find a straightforward, method-driven clinician. He offers sessions in English and Tagalog and works to make goals concrete and manageable.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Leo draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to structure sessions in practical ways. DBT focuses on teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which often translates into short skill-building exercises and homework. Narrative Therapy helps people examine and rewrite personal stories that limit choices, using questions and reflective exercises to reframe experiences. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy centers on clarifying values and taking small, values-consistent actions rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings immediately.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Leo collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. He adjusts pacing and techniques based on what the client wants to achieve and how they respond to skill practice and narrative work.

Session formats are not listed in his biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills or reflect on narratives in the settings where their daily life happens, which can help translate what happens in sessions into real-world steps.
