About Wendy
Wendy Del cid is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on building a genuine connection and uses that trust to guide each person's progress. Wendy aims to create a calm and direct space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
She meets people where they are and moves at a pace that feels right. Wendy uses client-centered work and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to help manage symptoms and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and conversational rather than overly clinical. Wendy has worked with people coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. She also supports those dealing with stress, ADHD, panic attacks, communication problems, caregiver strain, and women’s issues.
Sessions focus on clear goals that the client controls, with the therapist helping to shape steps toward those goals. In the first session she performs a thorough assessment to understand presenting concerns and to set a foundation for therapy. That assessment uses practical tools to gather relevant information and guide treatment planning.
Wendy balances warmth with straightforward feedback to help people reflect and grow. She encourages clients to see therapy as a collaborative process. The work emphasizes small, achievable changes and regular review of goals so progress is clear and meaningful.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Wendy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. These techniques help when anxiety, panic, or low mood interfere with daily life. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical coping strategies for regulating intense emotions and improving communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will work with each person to match techniques to their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, achievable goals and check progress regularly to adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy with Wendy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel and interactive work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can help keep momentum between sessions and fit into busy schedules.
