Getting to know William Lyons

As a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, groups, couples, and families, I assist clients in developing an awareness of patterns of thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. The human experience is not perfect, yet one learns to manage one’s thoughts and emotions associated with life's struggles and its joys. I have assisted clients in changing self-defeating patterns, making peace with past pain, and learning new practical skills that foster empowerment and wisdom. My approach My therapy approach focuses on meeting them where they are. Some might find it helpful to engage in short-term or solution-focused therapy to deal with a specific problem. Others might find it beneficial to explore long-term treatment to help gain insight into family/cultural origins or unhelpful learned adaptive behaviors that are causing distress. I am committed to exploring with you to identify barriers to joy and esteem, and being your most authentic self! My focus I have a holistic approach and I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, identity development, and substance use disorders. I also work with life transitions, work-related stress, career challenges, financial coaching, social/relational skills, and LGBTQ+. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to remain calm and patient. I do have a sense of humor and enjoy incorporating laughter into sessions when appropriate. I have not mastered mind-reading; consequently, I ask that clients clarify if I might have made an error. I believe the client knows themselves best, and I welcome the client to disagree with any recommendations respectfully.
