About Wendy

Wendy Del cid is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on making a genuine connection so clients feel heard and able to begin meaningful work. Wendy centers sessions on the client's goals and meets people where they are.

Wendy uses a client-centered approach and draws on evidence-based techniques, including cognitive behavioral ideas and dialectical behavioral ideas. In early sessions she completes a thorough assessment to understand current struggles and priorities. That assessment helps shape clear, practical goals.

She has worked with people coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. Wendy also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, panic attacks, communication problems, and women's issues. She aims to keep sessions conversational while still challenging patterns that get in the way of progress.

Wendy describes herself as soft but direct. She provides a supportive environment and helps clients think through choices and new habits. Goal-setting is a constant guide in her work, and clients remain in control of their therapy goals.

Her early interest in talking through problems led her away from speech pathology and toward therapy. The first session focuses on assessment using practical tools to establish a foundation. From there she and the client shape a plan that fits the client's life and aims.

Approaches that shape online therapy

Wendy brings a client-centered foundation combined with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavioral ideas. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavioral ideas emphasize practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy starts with an assessment and then works with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. She adapts methods over time so sessions remain relevant as progress happens.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make attending regular appointments simpler and help maintain momentum between visits, allowing therapy to fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities rather than replacing them.
