About Veronica

These methods are woven together to fit each person’s situation rather than following a single formula.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and small steps. She helps people name patterns, practice different ways of responding, and build skills for daily life. That may include grounding in difficult moments, changing unhelpful thoughts, or trying new communication habits.
Dr. Martin-Perkins emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside deeper work on relationships and past hurts. She draws on experience helping people through trauma, loss, and long-term stress. Her approach aims to strengthen resilience and support gradual, sustainable change.

How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and practicing new, more effective responses. It can help with depression, anxiety, and everyday coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and supports building healthier connection habits in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a break. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting, use audio-only if video is difficult, or focus on short skills practice between longer sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and Attachment-Based methods to work well in conversation and skills-based online sessions.
