A much simpler solution than what has been proposed so far, is to set 
TextScript.staff-padding, see 
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-attached-to-notes#Vertically-aligned-dynamics-and-textscripts

You would probably have received even more answers if you had provided a 
small example .ly file to experiment with. The following shows that 
staff-padding handles the situation well and aligns the baseline of the 
text, not the bottom-most edge, which was one of the problems you 
noticed with the other solutions.

\relative c''{
\partial 2
\override TextScript.staff-padding = #3
r4 c^"entfernend" |
a2 c4 ( f ) |
d d8 c b4^"diminuendo" b |
g2 b4 ( d^"poco" ) |
c c8 b a4^"a" c |
c b8^"poco" a b4 c |
}
