Veronica Montoya

Veronica Montoya is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida. She has nine years of experience helping people who are coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns. Veronica speaks English and Spanish and works with adults and young people from varied backgrounds.

She focuses on building a trusting working relationship first. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. Veronica uses plain language to name next steps and to help people use their strengths when problems feel overwhelming.

Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice skills that reduce reactivity and increase values-driven choices.

Veronica has a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Florida Gulf Coast University. She has spent much of her clinical time supporting teens, young adults, and their parents around mood, substance use, self-esteem, and family communication.

In sessions she tends to move at a practical pace. People can expect collaborative goal setting, problem-solving, and skill practice. If you want straightforward coaching through a big transition, grief, or ongoing anxiety, she helps break things into usable steps.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when hard thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for life transitions, anxiety, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce distress and build new habits. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and problem solving.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Veronica will work with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Over several sessions she adjusts methods and homework to what proves helpful for that person.

The original biography did not list specific online formats, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets clinicians continue work through transitions, grief, or periods of high stress without needing to rearrange as much in-person time.
