Lydia Fabbroni

Lydia Fabbroni is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience in mental health care. She practices in New Mexico and supports people facing mood disorders, relationship strain, parenting stress, and major life changes. Lydia draws on a broad clinical background that includes work in hospital settings and emergency care.

Her style is collaborative and interactive. She focuses on both validation and gradual change so people feel heard while they try new ways of coping. Sessions aim to build a working plan that fits each person’s goals and daily life.

Lydia uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She often draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and dialectical behavior tools to manage strong emotions. Motivational interviewing and client-centered methods guide the pace and focus of work.

Clients come for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar mood symptoms, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and divorce and separation. She also addresses communication problems, caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, and midlife or career transitions.

The aim in Lydia’s work is practical change through a respectful partnership. People leave sessions with clearer next steps, skills to try between meetings, and a plan that reflects their values and circumstances.

How Lydia’s Approaches Shape Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for life changes, stress, and mood concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and trying specific exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which is helpful when emotion regulation is a central issue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lydia will discuss your goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
