About Lydia
Lydia Fabbroni is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience helping people navigate tough moments. She practices in New Mexico and brings practical, down-to-earth support for stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and relationship challenges. She has worked across clinical settings including inpatient psychiatric care and the emergency room.
That background means she is familiar with crises and complicated emotions, and she uses those experiences to shape clear, steady care.
How Lydia works
Lydia’s approach is collaborative and interactive. She focuses on building a respectful, no-judgment relationship where validation and change both matter. Together with each person she sets goals and develops a plan that fits real life and real limits.
In sessions she draws on methods that help people notice patterns, manage strong emotions, and choose actions that match their values. She uses tools from acceptance-based work, cognitive strategies, and skills for handling intense feelings to make day-to-day coping easier.
Clients commonly bring issues such as depression, bipolar mood concerns, panic and anxiety, grief, trauma or abuse, parenting stress, and career or life transitions. She also addresses attachment questions, communication problems, separation and blended family difficulties, and feelings of isolation. Lydia aims for therapy that is straightforward and practical.
She helps people break big problems into smaller steps, try new skills between sessions, and track progress toward the life they want.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches for flexible online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and general life changes because it focuses on values and small, meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought and behavior patterns by teaching practical tools to reduce worry, manage mood, and handle panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for intense emotions and impulsivity, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation, which can help with mood instability and severe emotion dysregulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Lydia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day reality. She mixes skill-based techniques and acceptance-oriented practices so the plan matches what a person needs and prefers.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing, brief exchanges between sessions for reminders, skill practice, or quick updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments.
