About Veronica
Veronica Briody is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and the stress of life transitions. Veronica speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy approachable for people from different backgrounds.
Her work centers on listening and responding to what each person brings to the room. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. That means sessions often begin by asking what matters most and shaping the work around personal goals.
Veronica also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment therapy to offer practical tools. These approaches can help with unwanted thoughts, emotional overwhelm, and learning new ways to cope. Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness and calm when stress feels intense.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationships and long-standing patterns that affect connection and trust. Veronica often helps people untangle family of origin issues, communication problems, and codependency so they can try different ways of relating.
Her practice is attentive to cultural and immigration-related concerns, and she supports caregivers and people facing aging or bereavement challenges. To start, she encourages a simple conversation about goals so clients know what the first steps will look like.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Veronica uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters to the person in front of her, creating space for people to name goals and steer the work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice painful thoughts without being controlled by them and to move toward values-based action.She also draws on attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns or family history are central concerns, helping people recognize long-standing interaction styles and try different ways of connecting. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try together.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining consistency and using tools between meetings while the therapist and client adapt the approach to real-life routines.
