Dr. Daniel Lydon

Dr. Lydon is a licensed clinical psychologist who works with older adolescents, young adults, and adults. His therapeutic approach is integrative and collaborative, drawing from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (STDP), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)—a practical, action-oriented form of CBT rooted in Stoic philosophy.

He is trained in trauma-informed care and has experience working with a wide range of clinical concerns, including anxiety, depression, panic disorder, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and psychosomatic symptoms. He has also supported individuals navigating cancer treatment and other complex medical conditions.

Dr. Lydon has provided psychotherapy across the lifespan and in both inpatient and outpatient settings. His work is informed by a deep understanding of personality and relational patterns, allowing him to tailor treatment to each individual’s strengths, coping styles, and areas for growth. He integrates skill-building with insight-oriented work, helping clients build greater flexibility, self-awareness, and emotional resilience.

Known for his grounded and supportive presence, Dr. Lydon enjoys working with individuals who are motivated to make meaningful, lasting change—whether that involves improving relationships, managing intense emotions, enhancing academic or professional performance, or navigating major life transitions. He helps clients clarify what they can change, what they can accept, and how to move forward with greater intention and clarity.

Dr. Lydon is available starting October 2025 for in-person and remote therapy. Reach out at info@evokepsych.com for information.
