About Leo
Leo Lyon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with three years of clinical experience. He focuses on concerns such as self-esteem, career questions, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. He speaks English and Tagalog and works from Nevada.
Leo uses several practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. He draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns, change unhelpful reactions, and build daily skills. Sessions are collaborative and aim to identify small, usable steps people can practice between meetings.
His approach pays attention to past relationships and current stresses. He helps people talk through attachment issues, family of origin concerns, and communication or control problems. He also supports men dealing with fatherhood questions, first responder stresses, and struggles around life purpose and commitment.
Leo’s 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 brings a trauma-informed, strength-focused frame to clinical work and uses concrete skills from his therapeutic approaches.
Sessions aim to translate therapy into everyday life. People can expect to set practical goals, try new skills, and review progress together. Because of insurance paneling restrictions, he is out of network with UnitedHealth and Optum policies.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Leo draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills that help reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. These skills are useful for mood symptoms, impulsivity, and managing stress in demanding roles.Narrative Therapy is used to look at life stories and the meanings people attach to events. This approach helps people separate themselves from old problem-focused narratives and try new ways of describing who they are and what they can do.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is applied to clarify values and choose actions that align with them, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT supports people working on life purpose, commitment concerns, and coping with difficult emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss methods and experiment together to see what fits the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to emphasize over time.

Practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling around jobs or parenting, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and the ability to meet without travel. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to make therapy fit daily life while still focusing on practical skills and measurable progress.
