About Lydia
Lydia Fabbroni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of practice in mental health. She brings steady, practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and life changes. Her approach aims to make therapy feel straightforward and doable for everyday life.
Before private practice Lydia worked in inpatient psychiatry and emergency room settings. That background shaped her ability to stay calm during intense moments and to help people manage powerful emotions. She has substantial experience supporting people with mood disorders, trauma, grief, and relationship stress.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and active problem solving. Expect a mix of listening, reflection, and concrete skills to try between visits. The tone is direct but warm, with an emphasis on clear goals and steady progress.
Therapy here focuses on building practical tools as well as noticing what matters most to you. For someone dealing with panic attacks or high anxiety, this can include learning short-term strategies to reduce overwhelm and longer-term ways to change unhelpful patterns. Lydia also helps people tackle issues like relationship conflict, parenting strain, and career stress.
Her work draws on several methods including acceptance-based strategies, cognitive behavior techniques, and skills for managing intense emotion. She recommends collaborating on a treatment plan that reflects a person's priorities and daily life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when anxiety is present. It uses simple exercises to change the relationship to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect and teaches practical skills to reduce panic and worry. It often includes short experiments or practice tasks between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it emphasizes clear, stepwise skills practice that can be used in moments of high stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what is most helpful for panic, anxiety, or mood concerns.
Confirm available session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to try tools and then use them right away in regular life. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to work well over remote sessions.
