About Leo

Leo Lyon is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing low self-esteem, career uncertainty, depression, life changes, and compassion fatigue. He works with individuals to find practical steps that feel doable. Sessions are aimed at small changes that add up over time.

Leo emphasizes a strengths-based, trauma-aware approach. He guides clients to notice what already works in their lives and build on those skills. Conversations often focus on stories people tell about themselves and how to shift them toward healthier choices.

Background and approach

His clinical tools include Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These approaches are used in simple, concrete ways - for managing strong emotions, reauthoring life narratives, and clarifying values that guide action. Leo trained with a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master’s in social work.

He holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW. His practice experience spans three years and centers on steady, supportive work rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and Tagalog for people in Nevada.

He looks to help clients set realistic goals, try practical exercises between sessions, and track progress together. This is collaborative therapy that aims to make daily life feel more manageable.

Online support

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Online sessions can include skills coaching and short practices to use during the week, which helps with issues like impulsivity and strong mood swings.

Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for ways to rewrite those stories. In virtual sessions the therapist listens for unhelpful patterns and works with the client to name alternative narratives that support recovery and purpose.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and commit to small actions that match those values. This approach can be especially useful for depression, life direction, and decision-making work carried out between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each client to select or blend methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process may shift as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone helps when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for shorter updates or exercises. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, parenting, or other daily responsibilities.
