Veronica Briody , LMFT

Veronica Briody is a licensed therapist based in California who brings an empathetic, individualized approach to working with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. With eight years of clinical experience, she combines practical tools and empathic listening to help clients navigate grief, family conflicts, relationship challenges, and issues related to identity and cultural change.

As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she draws on training that emphasizes relationships and family systems while also attending to each person’s inner experience. Veronica integrates multicultural perspectives and has experience supporting individuals dealing with immigration-related stress, cultural transitions, and systemic challenges that affect mental health.

Her practice focuses on fostering greater self-understanding, healthier communication, and safer ways to process painful memories and interpersonal wounds. Veronica works collaboratively with people who are coping with abandonment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, body image concerns, and isolation, helping them develop coping strategies and clearer pathways forward. She seeks to create an affirming space where clients can explore difficult emotions and build on their strengths toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Veronica uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her work in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult emotions without getting stuck in them, and take meaningful action toward a life they care about - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that develop in relationships from early experience and helps clients build more secure connections and heal from abandonment or relationship wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Veronica works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and the pace of work to fit individual circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Veronica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and to access support from a licensed professional without rearranging major parts of daily life.
