Lydia Fabbroni

Lydia Fabbroni is an LCSW who has worked in clinical settings for two decades. She began her career in inpatient psychiatric care and the emergency room, then moved into outpatient therapy where she supports people facing intense emotions and life disruptions. Lydia draws on long experience to guide straightforward, practical work in therapy.

Her approach is collaborative and interactive. Sessions focus on both acceptance and change, using validation alongside tools to manage feelings. Lydia aims to create a nonjudgmental space where difficult topics can be talked through honestly.

People come to her for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, mood concerns, trauma, anger, relationship and parenting challenges, and major life transitions. She also addresses issues such as attachment struggles, communication problems, caregiver stress, and impulsivity. The work often blends skills practice with talk therapy to help people respond differently to stress.

In sessions she uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques when helpful to clarify values and goals. These approaches are used to shape clear, manageable steps toward change.

Therapy begins with a shared plan tailored to each person’s needs. Lydia emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical problem solving. She helps people identify what matters to them and move toward those goals one step at a time.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework, which can reduce panic, mood swings, and negative self-talk.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist review progress and pick the mix of techniques that fits their needs and preferences.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks. It also supports continuing skill practice between sessions with notes and exercises that can be reviewed together. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to match a person's schedule and goals, so practical logistics and therapeutic choices are worked out together.
