About Leo
LCSW Leo Lyon has three years of clinical experience and practices in Nevada. He focuses on self-esteem, career concerns, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Leo works with adults who bring issues tied to attachment, communication, fatherhood, first responder work, immigration, and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Tagalog.
Leo describes his approach as drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He uses Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) within a trauma-informed, strength-based framework. In practice that means helping people notice patterns, tell different stories about themselves, and try new skills for handling emotions and relationships.
He aims to uncover personal strengths and talents together with each client. Conversations often look at how past experiences shape current reactions and decisions. Work can include skill practice, writing or reframing personal narratives, and focusing on values-driven choices.
Leo earned 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. His credential is LCSW.

How his approaches translate to online work
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) focuses on concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Online sessions can include teaching and practicing those skills, with homework between meetings to try things in daily life.Narrative Therapy works by examining the stories people tell about themselves and testing alternative ways of framing events. In remote sessions this often involves discussion, reflective writing, and reviewing what feels more accurate or useful to the client.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes identifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings. Virtually this can mean short exercises in session and actionable steps to practice between meetings.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before to decide which techniques to use. That choice can change over time as progress and needs evolve.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a shorter visit is more practical. It can also let people use audio-only if they prefer less bandwidth or a simpler setup.
