Michael Lyons

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed Marriage Family Therapist in California. I have a passion for helping people live better lives and find more of what they want in life. With over 30 years of professional work experience, I have worked with people from many cultures, races, belief systems, lifestyles, and experiences and have been able to build an effective relationship with all of them. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, communication issues, relationship issues, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and many more issues.
There are times in life when we need an outside perspective to get back on track, improve functioning, or fix something that isn’t working well. We take care of our cars, homes, and finances; our mental health is no different, in fact, it is the “operating system” upon which the rest of our lives operate.
If you are at a point where you need help making something better, let’s work on it together.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the clearest advantages is flexibility – clients can connect with a therapist in the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to maintain consistent care alongside work, family, and other commitments.

The professionals who provide online therapy are licensed therapists, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers a practical and effective way to address everyday mental health concerns and to support ongoing personal growth.
