About Lyndia
Lyndia Benion is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses straightforward methods to help people manage anger and related struggles. She brings 40 years of experience and practices from Alabama. Lyndia focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, parenting concerns, relationships, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented. Lyndia often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer actions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful feelings without getting stuck by them.
Background and approach
Mindfulness skills appear in her work to reduce reactivity and improve calm in heated moments. Solution-focused techniques help clients set small, steady goals and track progress between conversations. Sessions look different depending on the person; Lyndia adapts the pace and tools to each situation.
Over decades of practice she has supported people facing issues like substance use, codependency, infidelity, and impulsivity. She also helps those dealing with abandonment, blended family dynamics, forgiveness, guilt, and jealousy. Her experience includes working with veterans and people affected by disasters.
Lyndia aims to make therapy clear and workable. She helps people build coping skills, communicate more effectively, and regain a sense of control. The focus is on practical change that fits real life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life changes by shifting focus from fighting feelings to building a meaningful direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises and short between-session tasks to reduce reactivity and change patterns that feed anger or depression.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing skills to lower reactivity in tense moments. These practices can be taught in brief online demonstrations and reinforced with short daily exercises.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find tools that fit a person's life and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief, focused check-ins and for building skills in small steps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to continue progress between meetings.
