About Lydia

Lydia Lizzett Palmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with five years of experience. She focuses on reducing depression, stress, and anxiety while helping people with relationship and family concerns. Lizzett also works with issues around self-esteem, motivation, grief, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related challenges.

She takes a practical, person-focused approach in sessions. Conversations focus on current problems, symptom relief, and small changes that can make daily life easier. She listens to what is most pressing and helps set short-term goals to try between appointments.

Lizzett draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test new ways of responding. She also uses Client-Centered methods to keep sessions grounded in the client’s experience, and incorporates mindfulness and somatic techniques when useful to manage stress and bodily reactions. Solution-Focused ideas guide work on specific, reachable goals.

Sessions are straightforward and action-oriented. Clients can expect clear talking, practical experiments to do at home, and regular check-ins about progress. Lizzett aims to make steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Her practice includes attention to gender dysphoria, veteran and armed forces issues, and multicultural concerns. She works in English and practices in Texas. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.

Using CBT, client-centered work and mindfulness online

Many of her approaches translate to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening to the person’s experience and making decisions together about goals and pacing. Mindfulness techniques teach simple breathing and attention exercises to reduce reactivity and manage day-to-day stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. She will work with each client to decide which approaches to try based on symptoms, goals, and what feels workable. Adjustments are made over time so sessions stay focused and practical.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy week, avoid travel time, or use phone-only options when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed. Talk with her during the matching process about how you prefer to meet and what will fit into your routine.
