Veronica Briody

Veronica Briody is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings eight years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and family challenges. Veronica speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy understandable and practical for busy lives.

She focuses on helping people rebuild communication, cope with loss, and manage stress. Veronica uses Mindfulness Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions emphasize clear steps and real-life practice rather than jargon.

Her work often addresses attachment concerns, abandonment, caregiver stress, and problems rooted in family of origin. She also supports people struggling with body image, codependency, immigration-related stress, and isolation. Veronica frames these issues as understandable responses to difficult experiences and helps people name what is happening.

Veronica draws on multicultural perspectives and experience with clients facing cultural transitions and systemic challenges. In sessions she listens for values and strengths, then helps craft small, doable changes that fit each person’s life. She aims for a respectful, steady pace so clients feel seen and can test new approaches safely.

Practical tools, mindful awareness, and clearer communication are common outcomes of her work. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How Veronica Uses Mindfulness and ACT Online

Veronica often draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and physical reactions without getting swept away. Mindfulness work trains simple attention skills and can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and managing strong emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, adds focus on values and committed action, helping people take steps that matter even when feelings are difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Veronica collaborates with each person to see which techniques fit their goals and daily life. She listens to what matters most, then blends mindful awareness, value-driven actions, and practical cognitive strategies to create a plan that feels doable.
