About Michelle
Michelle Wendel is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, career strain, and self esteem concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes like divorce, retirement, pregnancy and childbirth, and midlife transitions. Michelle focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions to feel steadier day to day.
She meets people where they are and adapts her style to fit individual needs. Sessions center on clear goals, steady problem solving, and learning skills to manage worry and overwhelm. Michelle blends straightforward tools with time to talk through what matters most to each person.
With ten years of clinical experience, Michelle draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She uses these approaches to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, reconnect with personal values, and try small experiments that build confidence.
Michelle aims to create a calm, welcoming session space where people can speak openly about pressure, guilt, codependency, or communication problems. She often helps clients untangle work stress, reproductive or menopausal issues, and the strain of caregiving or aging concerns.
Her practical focus includes self-love, forgiveness, and clarifying life purpose. Michelle encourages gradual change - small steps that add up - and works collaboratively to shape a plan that fits each person's life.
