About Wendy

LMFT in California with 22 years of clinical experience, Wendy Del cid focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD. She uses a client-centered style and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy when helpful. Sessions are conducted in English.

Wendy describes her approach as straightforward and conversational. She aims to build trust early so clients can talk openly about their concerns. The first session emphasizes assessment and gathering the main issues to guide ongoing work.

She helps people identify clear, practical goals and keeps those goals central to therapy. Clients direct the goals and Wendy supports with strategies and feedback. She explains that setting measurable targets gives each session focus.

Her work combines structured techniques with moments of direct reflection to help clients notice patterns and try new responses.

In sessions she is described as soft but direct and aims to prompt useful thinking rather than give lectures. Assessment tools and questionnaires are used early to form a treatment plan. Over time she and the client review progress against the stated goals.

Evidence-based approaches and how they fit online

Wendy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into clear parts and gives practical tools for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood instability.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to teach skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT methods are often used when strong emotions or repeated crises make consistent coping harder.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy works with clients to match techniques to their goals and daily life. She begins with a thorough assessment and adjusts methods based on what is helpful in regular sessions.

The biography does not list which online session formats are offered. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or another method. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals, including Wendy, use these options to keep work accessible while focusing on goals and skill practice.
