About Menachem

Menachem Stulberger is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who uses a warm, client-centered approach. He focuses on practical steps and clear conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and related challenges. Sessions emphasize listening, collaboration, and creating a calm space to talk through what matters most to each person.

He draws on training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to shape sessions around real-life skills.

Background and approach

That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors, learning new coping strategies, or building emotional regulation habits. Menachem blends those methods with a respectful, nonjudgmental style. Menachem has 12 years of experience as an LMFT and trained for his MA in Marriage and Family Therapy at Touro University Worldwide after completing a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Touro College Los Angeles.

His background includes work with grief and loss, depression and anxiety, and substance use concerns. He mentions a steady focus on communication problems as part of his work. In sessions he aims to be straightforward and supportive.

Conversations are collaborative; goals and methods are set together. He encourages small, realistic changes that can improve day-to-day life. Menachem practices in California and works with clients in English.

His approach is practical and anchored in evidence-informed techniques, presented in a calm and approachable way.

Evidence-informed approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify goals and values; this approach helps when someone needs a validating place to talk.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and day-to-day realities. Together they can adjust techniques as progress or circumstances change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions from home, review skills between meetings, and keep momentum when life is busy. Licensed professionals can use these tools to provide consistent care and to practice the same techniques they would use in person, adapted to each client’s preferences and lifestyle.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
