About Lydia
Lydia Fabbroni is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in New Mexico with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship stress, parenting strain, grief, and family of origin issues. She also addresses impulse control, panic, and challenges around life transitions and career concerns.
Before moving into outpatient work Lydia spent years in hospital settings, including inpatient psychiatry and the emergency room. That background influences how she approaches high-intensity emotions and crisis moments in therapy. Sessions tend to be direct and practical while still attending to how feelings are felt and described.
Her therapeutic style is collaborative and interactive. Lydia emphasizes both validation and concrete change. She aims to help people notice the patterns that came from their family of origin and how those patterns play out now. Work in sessions can include looking at unhelpful thinking, building new coping skills, and practicing different ways of relating to others.
She draws from several well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Those approaches are used to address emotion regulation, avoidance, and repetitive relationship patterns.
Clients who want a practical, respectful approach to working through long-standing family patterns may find this style helpful. To get started, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and dealing with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that increase distress and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms. It is commonly applied to panic, mood concerns, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Lydia will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix elements from different approaches so the work matches what the person needs in the moment.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, allow for shorter check-in meetings when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow practice of skills in everyday settings and quicker follow-up between sessions when appropriate.
