About Morgan Lyons

Hi, I'm Morgan Lyons, a Certified Social Worker and anxiety therapist serving clients in Orem, Pleasant Grove, and virtually across Utah. I work with individuals, couples, and families struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and the stress that builds up when life feels unmanageable. My goal is simple: help you feel better and function better, using approaches that are evidence-based and tailored to you.

My clinical background spans inpatient psychiatry, outpatient individual therapy, and three years as a Child Protective Services caseworker with the State of Utah — experience that gave me a deep understanding of trauma, crisis, and what it takes to support people through their hardest moments. I've worked with anxiety across all its forms: the constant worry that won't turn off, panic that comes out of nowhere, social anxiety that makes everyday situations feel overwhelming, and the burnout that builds from carrying too much for too long.

I draw on CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness-Based Interventions — choosing what fits you, not what fits a formula. I also have experience supporting clients through life transitions, grief, faith transitions, and infertility. Whether anxiety is the main thing bringing you in or one piece of a bigger picture, I'll meet you where you are.
