About Lydia
Lydia Fabbroni is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Mexico with 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked in inpatient psychiatry and emergency room settings and has spent much of her career helping people manage mood and behavior concerns. Lydia focuses on common problems such as depression, anxiety, and anger, and on related struggles like relationship stress and parenting pressures.
She has supported people who face severe emotion dysregulation, trauma and abuse, and those coping after physical injury. Her background includes work across hospitals and clinical settings, which shaped how she responds to crisis and ongoing stress. Lydia draws on several evidence-informed methods to guide sessions, including cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based ideas.
Her style is collaborative and interactive. She emphasizes validation and practical steps toward change so people can address painful feelings without shame. Sessions are framed as teamwork where the client’s goals guide the plan and pace.
Lydia uses problem-focused work to help with impulse control, mood swings, and communication problems. She also addresses life transitions, grief, caregiver stress, and difficulties rooted in family of origin or attachment patterns.
People who want clear, practical strategies for anger, impulsivity, or mood problems will find a therapist who blends skills training and talk therapy. She helps clients identify patterns, practice alternative responses, and test small changes in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult thoughts while still taking action. It can help when anger or mood get in the way of the life a person wants to lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small steps and practices, which is useful for panic, mood swings, and reactive anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lydia will collaborate with the client to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That often means trying skill work, homework, and short experiments between sessions to see what helps in daily life.
The therapist's specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a longer in-person visit is impractical. Many people find it useful to practice skills in the context of their real routines, and online meetings can make that practice simpler to arrange.
