Approaches Robert Lyons Uses and How Online Therapy Fits
Robert Lyons uses evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms and navigate life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes learning to accept difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be helpful for stress, worry, and life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, often useful when making behavioral shifts such as managing anger or improving coping.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Robert will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and he will adapt or combine methods so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, limited travel options, or differing comfort levels with in-person care. These formats make it easier to attend sessions consistently and to access therapeutic support from home or other convenient locations.
