About Lyda
I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed(LCSW) in Pennsylvania. I have over 20 years of experience working in clinical practice. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, familial relationships, career challenges, communication and ADHD. I will be training to provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in the beginning of June 2026 as well. I am excited to share this modality with my clients who have, unfortunately, experienced trauma.
My therapy style is warm and interactive without stigmatizing labels. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and narrative theory. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to share your concerns and entrust them to a therapist here at BetterHelp. I am ready to help you find solutions to those concerns when you are ready!
I look forward to working with you!
