Menachem Stulberger, LMFT

Menachem Stulberger is a licensed marriage and family therapist who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. He brings a warm, direct style to sessions and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful.

He focuses on issues like depression, grief, relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and changes at work or home. He also helps people with parenting stress, communication problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clearer thinking to reduce immediate distress.

With 12 years of experience, he has worked with people facing loss, mood concerns, and life transitions. He uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when people need better emotion regulation and from EMDR when trauma memories disrupt daily life. Menachem combines these tools with a person-centered attitude so goals come from the client, not a checklist.

He trained at Touro University for his master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and practices in California. He listens carefully and encourages small, manageable changes between sessions. Conversations are collaborative and paced to match each person’s comfort level.

People who choose him often want clear strategies plus an empathetic listener. He aims to help clients notice patterns, try different responses, and rebuild their confidence bit by bit. Menachem welcomes questions about how therapy could fit into someone’s life.

Using CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Menachem commonly brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to change how someone feels. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood problems. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and letting the person set goals so sessions stay relevant to their life.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when people need clearer emotion regulation tools. DBT-style skills teach practical ways to manage intense feelings, improve distress tolerance, and strengthen interpersonal effectiveness during stressful moments.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, try methods that fit the client’s goals, and adjust based on what helps. Menachem checks in regularly so the plan evolves with the client’s needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low, live chat and messaging work for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent progress in skills and coping.
