About Lydia
Lydia Fabbroni is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience in mental health care. She works from New Mexico and regularly helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and big life changes. Lydia uses straightforward language and a calm approach to help people figure out next steps.
Before independent practice she worked in inpatient psychiatry and hospital emergency settings, where she supported people through intense and sudden crises.
Background and approach
That background informs her ability to stay steady when emotions run high and to help people find practical ways to cope. Her sessions are collaborative and interactive. Lydia emphasizes both validation and realistic change.
She listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and then offers simple tools to try between meetings. Sessions often focus on building skills for emotion regulation, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions. Lydia helps people map out clear goals and small steps toward them.
She also pays attention to family of origin patterns, attachment issues, and how stress shows up in daily life. People who prefer a direct but compassionate style tend to do well with her. She works with mood disorders, trauma and abuse histories, parenting strain, and career-related stress.
Lydia aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life, not just a place to talk about problems.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes make decisions feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and gives practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for mood disorders, panic, and persistent worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lydia will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and what methods feel most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or a blend of techniques makes the most sense for managing emotions, reducing impulsivity, and building lasting skills.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat let people share updates between visits and get brief support without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapy tools in everyday life.
