About Wendy

Wendy Del cid is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 22 years of experience in California. She focuses on building a real connection with each person she meets. Wendy aims to make therapy a straightforward space to talk, reflect, and set goals that matter to the client.

She takes a client-centered approach and meets people where they are. Wendy uses familiar tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Wendy pays attention to practical life issues too, including caregiver stress, communication problems, panic attacks, and women's concerns. She describes her style as soft but direct and focuses on making sessions conversational and thought-provoking. Goal-setting is central to her work, with clients guiding the priorities and Wendy offering structure and support.

The first session is an assessment that looks at the most relevant issues and gathers the information needed to plan treatment. That foundation lets sessions stay focused and useful over time. Wendy hopes therapy becomes a place where growth and change feel achievable.

She works in English and practices in California as an LMFT. If you want to explore next steps, follow the platform prompts to begin the intake and scheduling process.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present problems and practical skills. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavioral approaches offer skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation, which can help with panic, mood swings, and stress.

Finding the right fit is part of therapy. Wendy works collaboratively to decide which approaches best match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so the work stays useful and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for steady weekly check-ins. Some formats may be better for short problem-focused visits while others support longer therapeutic work; discuss practical options when you schedule to find what works best.
