About Lidia

Lidia Verdura is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and life transitions. She brings a calm, practical presence and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful. Sessions focus on building coping skills, clearer communication, and emotional awareness.

Clients find concrete tools in sessions. Lidia uses listening, reflection, and questions to help clarify what matters most. She supports work on depression, grief, self-esteem, and issues like postpartum mood changes and panic symptoms.

Background and approach

Her work often addresses family and parenting concerns, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. She also helps with money and career pressures, body image, and adapting after separation or divorce. Practical problem-solving is paired with attention to emotions.

Lidia draws from client-centered therapy to follow each person’s pace. She brings mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and uses motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. These tools are applied in ways that fit each person’s daily life.

She is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with ten years of experience. Lidia offers sessions in English and provides several online formats so people can choose what works best for their schedule.

How Lidia’s approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person’s lead. The therapist listens closely, reflects feelings, and helps clients name what they want to change. This style helps with stress, low mood, and issues where understanding personal goals matters.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety. These short exercises can be used between sessions to calm panic symptoms or handle overwhelming moments.

Motivational interviewing supports motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment. It’s useful when someone wants to make shifts in habits, parenting routines, or relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative pacing helps make progress steady and realistic.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face connection, phone can be less formal, and chat or messaging offer short check-ins and ongoing support. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people use therapy in ways that match their daily routines.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
