Lidia Verdura , LCSW

Lidia Verdura is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges. She works with concerns such as grief, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, and career-related stress. Lidia practices in Connecticut and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work.

Lidia keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps clients set small goals they can try between meetings. She emphasizes stronger communication, clearer boundaries, and realistic coping skills for everyday life.

Her approach blends client-centered conversation with mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing. That means clients' own priorities shape the work, while simple mindfulness tools and goal-focused questions help turn insight into action. Lidia guides people through panic symptoms, seasonal mood shifts, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce.

She also supports people facing parenting stress, blended family issues, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, and caregiver strain. Common topics include commitment worries, infidelity, money and career pressures, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Lidia aims to create a warm, non-judgmental atmosphere where people can talk honestly about hard things. Sessions are practical and person-focused, with attention to small changes that make daily life more manageable. Her work centers on helping clients build resilience and clearer self-understanding.

How Lidia’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and lived experience. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name priorities and try steps that fit their life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve mood, which can help with anxiety, panic symptoms, and stress. Motivational Interviewing uses short, focused questions to clarify motivation and support real behavior change, useful for goals like improving communication or managing impulsivity.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lidia will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are shaped together so the approach evolves as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, live chat can be used for shorter focused exchanges, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity during life changes.
