About Lydia
Lydia Fabbroni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, parenting strains, relationship and family concerns, mood disorders, grief, trauma and abuse, and life changes.
She previously worked in inpatient psychiatric settings and emergency rooms, and has long experience helping people manage intense emotions and crisis moments. Lydia uses clear, interactive sessions that mix practical skills and direct conversation. She focuses on validation alongside gradual change so people can take manageable steps forward.
Sessions are collaborative. Lydia listens first, then designs steps you can try between meetings. She draws on cognitive and behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thinking. She also uses acceptance-based ideas to help people live with difficult feelings without being driven by them.
Her work often addresses parenting stress, blended family tensions, caregiver burden, and communication problems. She also helps when someone is coping with mood disorders, panic, impulsivity, or the fallout from abuse or major life transitions.
People working with Lydia can expect straightforward feedback and practical strategies. She aims to break problems into concrete pieces and teach skills that reduce overwhelm. If you are looking to address family or parenting stress, or the emotional patterns that keep repeating, she focuses on steps you can use in everyday life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then taking actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and frustrating or recurring family patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is often used for panic, mood disorders, and managing stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lydia will help you identify which methods fit your goals and preferences. She typically combines approaches so sessions focus on what you need now while building long-term skills. Confirm session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can still help fit therapy into a busy life - it often makes scheduling easier, reduces travel time, and can allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talking through concrete parenting conflicts, practicing new communication skills, and learning emotion regulation techniques translate well to remote sessions when arranged ahead of time.Areas of focus
