About Wendy

Wendy Del cid is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience who takes a client-centered approach to care. She emphasizes building a genuine connection and works collaboratively with each person to set goals that guide the work.

Background and approach

Wendy meets clients where they are and combines empathy with gentle directness to encourage reflection and growth. Her background includes work with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and ADHD, along with related concerns such as panic disorder, caregiver stress, communication problems, and women’s issues.

She uses evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and places importance on a thorough initial assessment to identify pertinent issues and establish a treatment plan. Wendy aims to create a supportive environment that feels conversational yet purposeful, allowing clients to take the lead on their goals while receiving professional guidance.

Based in California, she draws on two decades of practice to help clients find practical strategies and deeper insight during their time in therapy.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care



Wendy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related problems. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for mood instability and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Wendy approaches that decision collaboratively, tailoring techniques to a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences while reviewing progress and adjusting methods as needed.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide options that fit varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow for ongoing support when in-person visits are difficult and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while working on goals, building skills, and applying strategies in daily life.
