About Lydia
Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, severe emotion dysregulation, and trauma or abuse. She has also helped people manage relationship strains, parenting challenges, grief, and mood concerns. That variety of settings shaped a practical approach to therapy that leans on steady support and clear goals.
Sessions are collaborative and interactive. Lydia emphasizes validation alongside change, helping people notice what matters and try small, manageable steps. She values a straightforward plan that fits each person’s life rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Her methods draw from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, used to address symptoms and build coping skills. Lydia works with people to develop tools they can use between sessions.
People who choose her often want a therapist who will listen without judgment and help them set realistic goals. She guides clients through situations like life transitions, family of origin issues, and panic or mood symptoms. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
