About Lidia
Lidia Verdura is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, relationship problems, and major life changes. She works with individuals on mood concerns like depression, panic symptoms, and the ups and downs of ADHD. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.
Her sessions focus on building clear coping skills and better communication. She helps people spot patterns that get in the way and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational strategies are used alongside client-centered support to tailor each session to real goals. Lidia brings ten years of clinical experience to her work in Connecticut. She draws on everyday tools rather than jargon, so people can use what they learn between appointments.
Her approach emphasizes steady progress over time and attention to what matters most to each person. Common areas she addresses include blended family issues, postpartum and pregnancy concerns, caregiver stress, body image, money and work stress, and separation or divorce. She also supports people facing loneliness, commitment questions, and communication breakdowns.
Sessions may include skill practice, motivational conversations to clarify priorities, and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. Lidia aims to help clients leave sessions with something concrete to try. She identifies as LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and maintains a practice in Connecticut.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy rests on the idea that people know much about their own lives. In sessions she follows the client's lead, asks open questions, and helps clarify goals so work is focused and relevant. This approach helps with self-esteem, communication, and making decisions that fit real life.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. Small mindfulness exercises are used to reduce anxiety, manage panic symptoms, and handle strong emotions in the moment. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants change but feels unsure or stuck; it uses focused conversations to find personal reasons and build momentum.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. Clients help set goals and priorities so the work matches their needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full-session conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work consistent over time.
