About Lidia
Lidia Verdura is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. She focuses on practical support for everyday problems like relationship strain, parenting challenges, and work stress. Her style is warm and down-to-earth and she aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful.
Lidia encourages people to notice what is working and build on those strengths. She uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person's goals.
How Lidia works
Sessions include plain-language tools for coping, improving communication, and handling strong emotions. She brings experience with a range of concerns including ADHD, panic symptoms, grief, postpartum mood issues, and seasonal mood shifts. Lidia also helps people facing blended family challenges, infidelity, separation, and money-related stress.
Her approach addresses both immediate coping and longer-term changes. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is stuck or unsure about next steps.
Together these tools are used in ways that fit each person's situation. Lidia aims to make therapy feel like collaborative problem solving. She meets people where they are and moves at a pace they can manage.
The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and practical steps people can use between sessions.

How these approaches translate to online care
Lidia draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities. This approach means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks open questions, and helps people set goals that matter to them. It works well for relationship concerns, low mood, and parenting stress.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These tools help reduce reactivity, manage panic symptoms, and bring steadier focus during stressful moments. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is unsure about change; brief, respectful conversations can help people find their own reasons to move forward.
Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what fits best. That way the plan grows out of real progress rather than a predetermined checklist.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone can be lighter on bandwidth and easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins and ongoing encouragement between sessions.
