Lynn Lyons LICSW

I am a psychotherapist, author and speaker in private practice for over 30 years, and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders in adults and children.

I travel globally as a speaker and trainer on the subject of anxiety, its role in families, and the need for a preventative approach at home and in schools.

My latest book, The Anxiety Audit, looks at the 7 sneaky ways that anxiety and worry weave their way into our families, our friendships, and our jobs, and provides actionable steps to reverse the cycle and reclaim our emotional well-being. 

With a special interest in breaking the generational cycle of worry in families, I am the coauthor with Reid Wilson of two books on anxiety: Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents: 7 Ways to Stop the Worry Cycle and Raise Courageous & Independent Children, and the companion book for kids, Playing with Anxiety: Casey’s Guide for Teens and Kids.

Using Hypnosis with Children: Creating and Delivering Effective Interventions is a how-to guide for helping professionals looking to incorporate hypnotic strategies for the treatment of depression, anxiety, medical procedures, pain, and sleep.
