Leo Lyon is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a range of concerns. He helps people dealing with low self-esteem, depression, career questions, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Leo aims to assist clients in finding strengths they may have overlooked and building more hopeful, workable life stories.
He uses practical exercises and conversations to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Sessions often involve working on communication, setting boundaries, and finding purpose in day-to-day life. Leo emphasizes skills that can be used between meetings so progress continues outside the session.
Leo brings three years of clinical experience to his practice. His work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as attachment concerns, impulsivity, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness. He also supports people facing immigration-related stress, fatherhood questions, and the effects of first responder work.
Clients can expect straightforward talk, guided reflections, and goal-focused homework when helpful. Leo aims to create clear next steps during sessions, whether that means practicing a new communication approach or trying a different way of coping with strong emotions.
He holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Leo works in Nevada and offers services in English and Tagalog.
How evidence-based techniques guide online care
Many of his sessions draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can help with depression, life transitions, and finding direction when purpose feels unclear.He also uses Narrative Therapy ideas, helping people tell their life story differently so strengths and resilience become clearer. This approach can be useful for people feeling stuck in old patterns or overwhelmed by past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels useful and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered for online work.
