About Lidia

Lidia Atencio is a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in New Mexico. She brings 16 years of experience to sessions and focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through hard issues. Her approach centers on acceptance and practical tools tailored to each person's situation.

She often combines relationship-focused work with therapies that help people notice patterns and make small changes. Lidia uses ideas from the Gottman Method alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address communication, trust, and interaction habits.

Background and approach

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas when emotion and values are central concerns. Clients come with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction struggles, intimacy-related issues, and parenting stress. Lidia also supports people navigating life changes, career challenges, ADHD, body image, chronic illness, and caregiving strain.

She helps people set clear goals and practice new ways of coping. Her style rests on unconditional positive regard - offering steady support without judgment. Sessions focus on listening first, then creating simple action steps you can try between meetings.

Lidia emphasizes empathy and practical skills rather than labels. She works with adults who want to improve relationships, manage strong emotions, or handle everyday life stressors. Sessions are offered in English and can include conversation, skill-building, and short exercises to practice new habits.

Online support

Using relationship and acceptance approaches in online therapy

Lidia combines the Gottman Method’s focus on communication and interaction patterns with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy’s focus on values and willingness to experience difficult emotions. The Gottman-informed work helps people notice recurring interaction habits and practice clearer communication, while ACT helps clients connect with what matters and take small steps toward those values.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods to fit your needs. That shared decision-making helps tailor sessions to relationship concerns, emotional regulation, or life transitions.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you work in real time with visual cues, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and messaging is useful for brief ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
