About Lydia
Lydia Fabbroni is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience in mental health care. She practices in New Mexico and has worked in outpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatric settings, and emergency room care. Lydia often helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by mood symptoms, life transitions, or relationship struggles.
Her approach is collaborative and interactive. She centers validation and clear goals in sessions. Lydia aims to create a respectful space where people can talk about hard things without judgement and look honestly at what should change.
She uses a mix of practical methods drawn from several approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered work. That blend is used to build motivation, manage strong emotions, and develop day-to-day coping skills.
Clients come with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar mood challenges, trauma or abuse, grief, parenting strain, and anger or impulsivity. She also helps with communication problems, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions.
Sessions focus on concrete strategies and steady progress. Lydia works with each person to set reachable goals and practices skills together in session. She explains ideas plainly and helps people try changes in manageable steps.

How these approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build the desire to change. It uses open questions, reflective listening, and planning to move from hesitation toward action, which can be useful for substance concerns, mood changes, or motivation around behavior shifts.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching practical exercises to notice thoughts and choose values-based actions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy emphasizes spotting unhelpful thinking and testing out new behaviors. It provides concrete tools for managing panic, depressive thinking, and daily stressors through skill practice and stepwise exposure to feared situations.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to weigh their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan over time based on how things are going.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand them. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. The focus in remote work is the same as in person - building motivation, practicing emotion regulation skills, and trying new behaviors in everyday settings. -
