Approaches listed

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Lidia directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Using Narrative and ACT strategies online

Online sessions with Lidia draw on Narrative therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that work well across video, phone, chat, and text. Narrative therapy helps people tell and reshape the stories they live by, useful for relationship stress, grief, or identity concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building small actions that fit those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lidia treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision. She will talk with the client about goals and day-to-day needs, try approaches that make sense, and adjust based on what is helpful.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using Narrative and ACT ideas to guide the work.
