Veronica clearly understands the dynamics of many situations. Betterhelp did a fantastic job pairing her up with me. We have only spoken 3 times and she has given me a lot to think about and tools to use. I look forward to learning more from her so that I can live a life where I am more at peace with myself and those around me.

My name is Veronica and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 7 years of experience in the mental health field in various settings, experiences and positions. Therapy can be a daunting task that requires a safe and non-judgmental space to facilitate client comfort and trust. I take a holistic approach to therapy that focuses on the uniqueness of each individual, their past, present and goals for their future. My goal is to provide you with the support and tools to discover your own strength and resiliency to navigate life’s challenges. My approach is eclectic in nature with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness that allows tailoring for your unique experience. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues as well as many other different areas of the human experience. I have worked with a varied and diverse population including adults and adolescents.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
