About Lydia
Lydia Fabbroni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with 20 years of experience in clinical and emergency settings. She works with adults facing mood and anxiety concerns, relationship and family stress, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and life transitions.
Her approach is collaborative and interactive. Sessions emphasize validation alongside practical steps for change. She focuses on clear, respectful conversation that helps people identify what is and isn’t working and set concrete goals.
Lydia draws on several therapeutic methods to shape treatment, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She uses these tools to help people manage painful emotions, reduce unhelpful patterns, and build skills for daily life.
Clients often bring complex stressors such as mood disorders, panic attacks, impulse challenges, and issues rooted in family of origin. Lydia also works with concerns tied to blended family issues, caregiving stress, and communication problems. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and how to move toward those goals.
Lydia’s background includes inpatient psychiatric social work and emergency room clinical work. That experience shapes a pragmatic style that balances emotion-focused strategies with concrete coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes that leave someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and avoidance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can help with severe mood swings, impulsivity, and intense reactions.Picking an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That means approaches may be mixed or shifted over time based on what is most useful for the client.

Therapists can coach practical skills that you practice between appointments and help apply strategies to blended household challenges, parenting strains, and relationship communication without promising a specific format.
