About Wendy
Wendy Del cid is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 22 years of experience. She focuses on building a genuine connection so people feel heard and understood.
Background and approach
Wendy aims to make each session feel like a real conversation where the client leads the goals. Wendy uses a client-centered approach and meets people where they are.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques to address patterns of thinking and emotional regulation. That combination helps with anxiety, panic, and mood shifts.
She has worked with people who have experienced trauma and with those diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and attention-deficit concerns. Wendy pays attention to caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, and issues many women bring to therapy.
Her style is warm and direct, encouraging reflection without judgment. In the first session she conducts a focused assessment to gather the information that will guide treatment planning.
From there she works collaboratively so the client sets meaningful goals and chooses the pace of change. Sessions often include practical exercises to try between meetings.
Wendy practices in California and offers a supportive space to talk through stress, panic attacks, and ongoing anxiety. She helps people take small steps toward clearer communication, better emotional coping, and steadier moods.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Wendy uses practical, evidence-based techniques to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy offers skills for regulating intense emotions, managing panic, and improving communication, using step-by-step exercises and grounding practices.Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their concerns, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods and pace so the work matches the person's needs and rhythms.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, longer message-based exchanges, or a way to follow up between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
