About Leo
Leo Lyon is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in Nevada with three years of clinical experience. He focuses on self-esteem, career concerns, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue, and he also addresses family of origin issues and related patterns. Leo works with adults who notice old family roles and expectations still shaping their choices and relationships.
He uses practical conversation and structured techniques rather than long lectures. Sessions look at the stories people tell about themselves and the habits those stories create. Leo draws on approaches that help people build skills for emotion regulation, notice unhelpful thoughts, and try out new behaviors in small steps.
His background includes 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 and has worked across settings that required clear clinical documentation and collaboration with other professionals.
In sessions he often examines how childhood roles - such as caretaker, peacemaker, or the family’s planner - continue to affect decisions now. That can include looking at communication patterns, control issues, and impulses that feel hard to manage. He also addresses concerns around fatherhood and the pressures that role can bring.
People meet for focused conversation, skill practice, and goal-setting. Leo encourages small experiments between meetings to test new ways of relating. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats available.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Leo uses a few evidence-based techniques in online work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving coping when feelings run high. These skills help when strong reactions to family patterns or work stress feel overwhelming.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their families. Online sessions use conversation to separate those stories from a person’s values and goals, which can make it easier to try different choices.
Finding the right method is part of the collaboration. The therapist will discuss what fits the client's goals and preferences and adjust the plan as work progresses. Expect decisions about pacing, skill practice, and short experiments to be made together.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Many people appreciate the ability to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and to reduce commute time. Online sessions can also make it simpler to do brief check-ins or focused skill practice when needed.
