About Lyana

Lyana Murrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career concerns, and major life changes. Lyana writes plainly and focuses on practical steps that feel manageable in day-to-day life.

She asks direct questions about what is wearing a person down and what is still possible. Sessions involve talking through current problems, noticing patterns that keep them happening, and testing small changes that reduce pressure. Her style is collaborative and action-oriented while respecting each person’s limits.

Her background includes seven years of work with individuals, groups, and families who faced trauma, grief, mood concerns, and long-term stress. That experience shapes how she balances immediate coping skills with slower work on deeper patterns. She pays attention to how relationships and life roles affect stress and mental health.

Lyana uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address both symptoms and the life factors that maintain them. She helps people sort priorities, manage strong feelings, and set boundaries that fit their daily responsibilities. Progress often looks like clearer choices and fewer days overwhelmed.

People who meet with her usually want practical tools they can use between sessions. She asks clients to define goals they can test in real life and to report back what changed. This creates steady, measurable work rather than vague promises.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Lyana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns. One approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breath regulation, grounding steps, and short behavioral experiments to test what reduces overwhelm. Another approach looks at how trauma and relationship patterns affect daily life, helping people notice repeat dynamics and practice new responses.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, daily responsibilities, and how they prefer to work. That may mean shifting between skills-based work and deeper processing as needs change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and use brief check-ins around work or caregiving. Ask about the session options available so you can pick what fits your routine.
