My goal is to help others grow, regain peace, joy, and healing in their lives by providing nonjudgmental counseling, empathy, encouragement, and support to achieve wellness. I believe in working collaboratively with you to help you define the tools needed to overcome obstacles, deescalate situations, make better choices and negotiate positive outcomes to be the best you can be.
My approach is partnership. The client and therapist decide together what are the major issues and how to work through them together. Please be aware working on emotional issues can be painful and you may feel even worse as you confront your past and present conflicts as you journey towards wellness. During the therapeutic process you will identify troubling situations, be more aware of thoughts, emotions, and beliefs about problems, identify negative and inaccurate thinking and reshape negative or inaccurate thinking by learning coping mechanism so you can move toward a healthy and fulfilling life.
I am a dedicated, knowledgeable eclectic counselor using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, EFT and Mindfulness. I have experience working with adults (21 - 75 years old) from diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. I have assisted those struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationships issues, domestic violence, home/school/work concerns, SI/HI, anger, bullying, trauma, and crisis intervention.
Prior to making a life changing decision to help others I worked over twenty-five years in the corporate world as an Executive Assistant. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (2001) and Master of Arts in Counseling (2004) from Webster University in St. Louis, MO. I began my career in Social Services in 2006 and became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2012 in Missouri and received her Texas license in 2017.
I am a current member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Texas Counseling Association (TCA).

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She’s wonderful and very helpful!
Veronica makes you feel heard and supported. Highly recommend her to anyone.
Veronica is helping me to regain my confidence and take my life back.
Absolutely amazing woman, she has helped me build my confidence and pushes me to be better for me, I feel like I have someone I can tell all the stuff I’m afraid to admit and I’m except and given helpful tips to better cope. I. Am not recommend Veronica enough, she’s a angel sent strain from god.
Being able to reach out to her and feel solid in my decisions has been a huge comfort. I've been receiving back to back hardships and heartache and having her there to reach out to is a blessing. I feel like I'm being listened to and that my mental and emotional health matter. I appreciate the council she given me when I've had to make hard, drastic decisions for my health and sanity.
Veronica is so wonderful Easy to talk to an such a calm manner about her . She has helped me gain insight as to how to handle a problem in my family and I feel so much better since I started talking to her and having the live sessions. Thanks Veronica!
Veronica has been very helpful to me she listens and provides advise and auto hel me work through my issues
She is caring and understanding. Listens and offers tools to try to change a behavior or a fear.
Veronica is the type of person I thrive to become. She has helped me so much dealing with my anxiety and overthinking. For example I have found myself not taking things too much to heart and seeing life more in a positive way while still going after my personal goals. She keeps me on track, reminds me of the things I have learned so far and helps me not to take myself too seriously. I really recommend Veronica for anyone who’s a bit lost and needs someone to listen and give them a good push in the right direction with the utmost truthful and positive attitude
Veronica is an excellent, compassionate therapist who's committed to your development. I highly recommend her.
I can't tell you guys how much I love talking to Veronica! I know she has a lot of clients, but the sessions have been very personalized and she remembers key details. I just love how she doesn't sugarcoat things and talks to you like you're a real friend. She cares and it shows. She's equipped me with things that will help me conquer things and has even helped me work through some things that have been bothering me for YEARS. I can't thank you enough for your support Veronica!
She is the best! She helped me through a really rough time and I cannot thank her enough! Will definitely be back when I can...
My only issue is with scheduling. I wish there was a way for me to have the same day and time for every session. Other than that I couldn’t be happier with my experience thus far.
Veronica has been incredible! She is friendly, approachable and has a wealth of knowledge on a lot of different aspects surrounding mental health. I can not recommend her and betterhelp for the part both have played in my mental health journey.
A really sweet and motherly figure who is inclined to sit and listen. She waits for you to finish a thought before helping you backtrack and examine your conceptions of your experience. I'm hoping to do a lot of healing with her help
She focused on what I required the most and came through when I needed help!
She's amazing.
Enjoyed the session and look forward to more
She's polite and is really respectful. She helps a lot

I thought I made the best choice when I took the leap on BetterHelp. Turns out BetterHelp made the best choice for me because I lucked out with my therapist yall.

Amazing therapist, has helped me a lot so far. Thank you.
She made me feel comfortable immediately and I was super nervous about beginning this therapy journey. She is a very good listener and pointed out things that hadn't occurred to me but has helped me understand the reason behind some of the concerns I've been having. I highly recommend her.
Veronica was a fantastic listener & made me feel so comfortable sharing with her! Such a positive experience with therapy :)
