About Lyana

Lyana Murrell welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career pressure, or big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so people can name what feels most urgent. Lyana holds a California LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions.

Lyana focuses on helping people find relief from hurt rooted in trauma or violence, and from grief, loss, or ongoing burnout.

Background and approach

She offers practical ways to manage anxiety and to handle relationship patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on what they want to do differently in daily life. Her style is collaborative.

Lyana helps people notice patterns, try new strategies, and adjust what isn’t working. She centers each person’s values and goals rather than applying a fixed method. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at usable change.

Lyana has worked with individuals, families, and groups during her seven years in practice. That background informs how she sees how stress shows up across work, care responsibilities, and personal life. She aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions.

People who choose her often want a therapist who combines practical tools with steady support. Lyana encourages small steps that lead to clearer decisions, safer boundaries, and more manageable days.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Lyana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and understanding how past hurt affects today. One common approach she uses helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it teaches practical tools for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress. Another approach focuses on healing from trauma by helping people name traumatic experiences, notice their effects on the body and behavior, and build safer ways to cope and relate to others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lyana will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what feels doable. Together they try approaches that match the client's needs and adjust as progress or new challenges appear.

Online therapy makes this work more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be a simpler option if bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick skill practice, or when a written format helps someone reflect. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum between sessions.
