Therapeutic approaches and online care
Veronica draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That work can clarify patterns and open up new ways to act when old stories feel stuck.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to connect a person’s actions with their values and to build willingness to face difficult thoughts or feelings while still moving toward what matters. Client-Centered therapy is part of her approach as well, providing a listening, nonjudgmental space where a person’s perspective guides the work.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Veronica collaborates with each person to figure out which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. She adapts tools based on what the person wants to change and how quickly they want to move.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations, phone sessions can fit a busy day or lower bandwidth times, and chat or messaging offer quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules and needs.
