My name is Nydia (its basically Lydia just with an N) I am a licensed clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have been in this field for over 20 years. Areas I can help support you in are as follows: stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. Some modalities in my therapy toolbelt are MI, CBT, DBT, and I am currently working towards certification in EMDR.

The beauty is that I can always tailor my skill set to your needs.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
