About Robert Lyons
Life can be tough. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, a major life transition, difficult decisions, relationship challenges, or struggles with your emotions, therapy can provide a place to understand what’s happening and develop new ways to move forward. I work with clients to identify patterns that may be getting in their way, strengthen the patterns that are working, and develop practical strategies for managing difficult emotions and life’s inevitable ups and downs.
I am a hybrid therapist who provides in-person therapy for clients in Manassas, Prince William County, and surrounding Northern Virginia communities and virtual therapy for clients across Virginia.
My goal is to offer clients a soft place to land in a relaxed, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. My approach incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), including skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and cognitive reframing. I also provide interactive feedback and an impartial perspective to help clients better understand themselves and the challenges they are facing.
I also work with couples experiencing relationship and communication challenges, using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. I have completed Levels 1, 2, and 3 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy training.
Peaks and valleys are guaranteed in our lives. Having a place of emotional safety has benefited me in my own life, which is why I strive to provide that same sense of safety and support to my clients. Together, we can work toward greater emotional balance, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of control over your life.
