About Lydia
Lydia Fabbroni is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in mental health care. She practices in New Mexico and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and life transitions. Lydia brings a practical, steady approach to conversations about hard topics.
She draws on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she focuses on listening, validation, and clear steps for change.
Background and approach
Lydia aims to build a respectful, no-judgment space so people can speak openly and figure out next steps. Her background includes work in clinical therapy roles and acute care settings, where she supported people coping with severe emotional dysregulation, trauma, and crisis.
That experience shapes how she responds under pressure and how she helps people manage intense feelings like panic, anger, or grief. In practical terms Lydia helps people identify what matters to them, learn new coping skills, and try small behavior changes that add up over time. She also addresses relationship and family-of-origin issues, communication breakdowns, parenting stress, and career or purpose concerns.
Sessions may include skill practice, goal setting, and reviewing progress together. Lydia favors a collaborative style that balances support with actionable steps. She works in English and offers several online formats to fit different needs.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. It helps when anxiety or low mood make it hard to move toward what’s important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses short exercises to test and change them, which can ease panic, worry, and depressive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for strong mood swings and emotion dysregulation.Finding the right approach often happens together. Lydia will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what feels most helpful. Then she and the client choose methods and try them out, revising the plan based on what works in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone can be easier when video isn’t an option or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit care into a busy day while still working on anxiety, mood, and life challenges.
