About Veronica

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with nine years of experience. Veronica Montoya works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar, career challenges, and parenting-related stress. She practices in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Veronica draws on cognitive behavioral approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing. She focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Sessions tend to include skill practice, values-based planning, and problem-solving rather than long theory talks.

Her style is collaborative. She helps people identify what matters to them, then builds small, concrete actions to align daily life with those values. When substance use or addiction is present, motivational interviewing is used to clarify readiness and set achievable next steps.

Veronica has experience supporting teens, young adults, parents, and adults across a range of concerns. She emphasizes improving communication, addressing attachment and codependency patterns, and strengthening self-regard. Work on social anxiety, phobias, and intimacy issues pairs cognitive tools with mindfulness practice.

She trained at Nova Southeastern University for a master’s in Mental Health Counseling and holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Florida Gulf Coast University. Her practice blends evidence-based techniques with brief coaching-style check-ins to track progress and adjust goals as needed.

How her approaches translate to remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to name what matters to them and then try small, consistent actions that reflect those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and social phobia.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences with the client and together decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process may shift over time as progress is tracked and priorities change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or evenings. Remote work can also make shorter check-ins easier to schedule and lets sessions focus on skill practice, behavior experiments, and values-based planning without a commute.
