William Lyons, LPC

William Lyons is an Alabama-licensed LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 30 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and other life challenges. He has also worked for 27 years as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, bringing long-standing expertise in substance use concerns alongside a wide range of clinical interests.

He approaches therapy from a collaborative, strengths-based perspective, treating each person as the expert on their own story. Rather than seeing people as broken, he focuses on helping them identify practical, sustainable ways to move forward. His therapeutic toolkit includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy, which he tailors to each client’s needs.

Lyons works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related difficulties, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, communication problems, disaster-related coping, divorce and separation, domestic violence, first responder issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, men's issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, and social anxiety and phobia. He provides services in English, accepts new clients including international clients, and schedules appointments on weekends to accommodate varied needs. Prospective clients are invited to take the first step when ready and can expect a supportive, respectful partnership aimed at practical progress.
