About Veronica
Veronica Briody is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and family-related struggles. Veronica works in both English and Spanish.
She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions often include learning how thoughts and actions link, noticing patterns in relationships, and trying new ways to set limits. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help clients manage strong emotions in the moment.
Veronica pays attention to how early attachment and family history shape current relationships. She helps people identify patterns like people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or staying in caretaking roles that drain them. Conversations tend to be direct and concrete, with room to process feelings and practice different responses.
Her background includes work with people who face immigration stress, caregiver strain, aging concerns, and family-of-origin wounds. She also supports those coping with loss, guilt, shame, and the fallout from domestic violence or separation. She frames these issues as understandable responses to hard experiences rather than character flaws.
For someone worn down by always putting others first, Veronica offers steady, skills-focused sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first meeting are the first steps toward working together.
How sessions work
How Veronica uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck from people-pleasing or avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current bonds and reactions. This work can help someone who repeats caretaking patterns or fears abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says so they can clarify their own goals and feelings.Figuring out which approach fits best is a shared process. Veronica discusses options with each person and adjusts techniques based on the client's goals and what feels manageable. The work is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on testing changes between sessions.
The practical benefit of doing this work online is that it can fit into a busy life and reduce travel time. If you want to know the exact session formats offered, please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and can allow shorter check-ins when time is tight.
