About Lydia

Lydia Fabbroni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with 20 years of experience in clinical settings. She has worked in inpatient psychiatric care and emergency rooms, and has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting stress, trauma, and intense emotional ups and downs. Lydia also lists anger among the concerns she helps with.

Her approach is collaborative and interactive. She emphasizes clear communication, validation, and practical change. Sessions aim to identify what causes repeated anger or emotional overwhelm and to build steps that reduce reactivity over time.

Lydia draws on several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered techniques. She uses these tools to teach coping skills, emotion regulation, and ways to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.

In session she works with clients to set realistic goals and to test small changes between meetings. Phone or video logistics are not specified here, so people should confirm current session formats before booking. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. Lydia operates from New Mexico and holds the LCSW credential listed above. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that align with their values. It is often useful for anger tied to shame, avoidance, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, panic, depression, and for handling triggers that lead to snapping or escalation.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas bring concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These tools help people reduce impulsive reactions and practice calmer responses during strong emotions.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. Lydia will collaborate with each person to try approaches that match their goals and preferences. That may mean blending techniques, emphasizing skills practice, or focusing on values-based action depending on what helps most.

Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The emphasis is on fitting therapy into everyday life so people can practice changes between meetings.
