Getting to know Lydia Duarte
Hello, my name is Lydia Duarte, LCSW. I am licensed in California with 22 years of professional work experience. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Fresno State. Thank you for reaching out to me to seek help. This can be a confusing time for you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage. I will be with you throughout this journey. We will work together to resolve the problems you’re experiencing. Together, we will develop your treatment plan and diagnosis. As a team, we will address your concerns. I’m able to provide a free 15-minute consultation to see if I’m the right therapist for you. I look forward to hearing from you.
My approach
I use both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy in talk therapy. I believe you will find my approach interactive. Talk therapy allows for easy understanding of concepts and helps apply new coping strategies to your daily life experiences.
My focus
I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or anxiety related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
My communication style
I utilize different communication styles when working with different populations. Talk therapy is easiest but doesn’t always adhere to some cultural aspects. I predominantly use open-ended questions to better understand a situation. I work toward understanding my clients’ style of communication. My goal in communication is to have the client feel comfortable sharing.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have had a very rich and colorful life. My personal experiences of what used to be obstacles are not the foundation of what makes me a well-rounded therapist.
