About Menachem
Menachem Stulberger is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with 12 years of clinical experience. He uses a warm, client-centered style that aims to make difficult conversations easier to begin. He writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person who reaches out.
He combines client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions focus on real problems like stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship or communication struggles.
Background and approach
The goal is to help people find clearer options and healthier ways to respond to everyday pressures. Menachem trained through Touro University Worldwide for his master’s in marriage and family therapy and completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Touro College Los Angeles. His background spans many common life challenges, including career shifts, compassion fatigue, and coping with major life changes.
In sessions he keeps things collaborative. He asks questions, reflects what he hears, and offers concrete strategies to try between meetings. He also draws on approaches for intimacy-related issues, anger, and trauma-related concerns when those fit a person’s needs.
People who contact him can expect straightforward talk, respectful listening, and goal-focused planning. He accepts international clients and offers multiple online formats to make scheduling easier.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a working relationship, helping people feel heard and understood as they talk through parenting stress, relationship tension, or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and trying practical exercises to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and parenting-related stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skill-based work in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication - useful for anger, intense emotions, and improving interactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will start by asking about goals and routines, then suggest one or a mix of approaches and adjust based on how a person responds. That collaborative stance helps match methods to real-life parenting challenges and everyday pressures.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or work where bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options aim to make regular work on goals easier to keep up with.
