About Veronica

Veronica Briody is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and family-related concerns. Veronica also helps with issues such as abandonment, caregiving stress, communication problems, and the effects of immigration and cultural transition.

Veronica keeps sessions direct and practical. She uses several evidence-informed approaches to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and manage strong emotions. Sessions often involve short experiments between meetings and concrete skills to reduce overwhelming thoughts and feelings.

She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that shape how people relate to partners, parents, and other family members. Veronica helps people name those patterns and practice different ways of showing needs and boundaries. Work on communication and codependency tends to focus on small, repeatable steps rather than large, abstract changes.

Veronica also integrates mindfulness and values-based work to help clients clarify what matters most. That can make decisions around family, caregiving, and separation feel clearer. She uses cognitive strategies when thoughts make daily life harder, and narrative techniques to make sense of painful experiences.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People who want to begin fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning small, practical steps that align actions with those values. It helps when worry or avoidance keeps people from doing what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people recognize repeated interaction styles and practice different ways of asking for needs or setting boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Veronica will review your goals and preferences with you and try approaches that fit your situation. That collaborative process means methods can shift as needs become clearer, so therapy stays focused on what actually helps day to day.

Session format details should be confirmed before booking. Ask which remote options are available when you complete the short matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy family schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so appointments are simpler to attend.
