About Lydia

Lydia Fabbroni is an LCSW based in New Mexico with 20 years of clinical experience across therapy, inpatient psychiatric social work, and emergency room practice.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad background helping people navigate depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and stress-related issues. Her practice also addresses attachment struggles, communication problems, impulsivity, panic and other focused areas that often accompany emotional distress.

Her therapeutic approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered principles. Lydia emphasizes collaboration and a balance between validation and change, working alongside clients to create a tailored treatment plan.

She cultivates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where sensitive topics can be explored and practical strategies developed. Prospective clients can expect a straightforward, compassionate clinician who partners with them to set goals and build coping skills suited to their life circumstances.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Many of Lydia's sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical strategies to shift behaviors and mood. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many day-to-day stressors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she uses, helping clients clarify personal values, accept uncomfortable internal experiences, and take committed actions that align with their goals.

She also uses client-centered principles to create a supportive, respectful relationship that centers the client's experience and priorities. Deciding which approach or combination fits best is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single model from the outset.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to access consistent care while fitting around work, family, and other commitments. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to continue building skills and addressing concerns from home or another convenient setting, with the therapist guiding the selection of methods and session types to suit each person's circumstances.
