About Veronica
Dr. Veronica Martin-Perkins uses an integrative, practical approach to counseling. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience in education and mental health.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She speaks English and works with adults using straightforward, problem-focused sessions. In sessions she blends methods to meet each person's needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas inform work around relationship patterns and close bonds. Her background includes decades in counseling and education, including doctoral study in counseling education and supervision. That experience shapes a steady, organized way of helping people untangle emotional problems and life transitions.
She also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric matters, and body image problems. Therapy sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on real-life changes. Dr.
Martin-Perkins uses techniques from DBT - Dialectical Behavior Therapy - to teach emotion regulation and from client-centered work to build trust and clear communication. Practical tools and small homework tasks are common between visits. Her practice offers multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters most to them, and take small actions in line with those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which can help with mood, worry, and relationship reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current bonds and communication; this approach can help people improve trust and repair interaction patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try practical techniques, and adjust methods based on what is most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and focused on their priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets the therapist and client use facial cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or flexible ways to share between appointments. These options make regular work on skills and goals easier to fit into a busy life.
