Wendy Del cid, LMFT

Wendy Del cid is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on building a genuine connection so people feel heard and respected. Wendy aims to make therapy a conversational, useful space where clients set the goals and guide the process.

She uses a client-centered style and meets people where they are. Wendy also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques to help with symptoms and day-to-day coping. The first session is a thorough assessment to identify the most relevant concerns and set practical goals.

Wendy has worked with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses panic attacks, communication problems, and issues that commonly affect women and caregivers. Her approach emphasizes clear goals so progress can be tracked over time.

In sessions she aims to be warm but direct, helping clients notice patterns and try small changes. Conversations tend to feel straightforward and focused rather than overly clinical. Wendy sees therapy as a collaborative process where the client remains in control of their objectives.

Her background includes two decades of practice in California and a history of supporting people through challenging emotional states. Before choosing therapy as a career, Wendy considered speech pathology and has long valued listening and conversation as tools for change. Prospective clients complete an initial assessment and then plan next steps with her.

How evidence-based approaches guide online care

Wendy incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Wendy works with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. She starts with a careful assessment and then adjusts methods based on what helps most in real life.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, limit travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try skills practice between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation. Licensed professionals can help you choose a rhythm and method that match your schedule and goals.
