Veronica Montoya, LPC, LMHC

Veronica Montoya is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on relationship concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Veronica also helps people facing anger, low self-esteem, career changes, ADHD, and challenges with coping and motivation.

Veronica works in a direct, collaborative way. She and a client set clear goals together and use practical strategies to meet them. Sessions are designed to draw on a person’s strengths while teaching skills for everyday problems. She emphasizes building a trusting working relationship first, then tackling specific concerns.

Her approach mixes cognitive behavioral methods with acceptance-based ideas and mindfulness. Motivational interviewing is used when people need help finding internal reasons to change. These methods are presented simply and are aimed at making ideas useful in daily life rather than abstract.

Veronica has about nine years of professional experience supporting people from varied backgrounds. She earned her master’s degree in mental health counseling from Nova Southeastern University and a bachelor’s in psychology from Florida Gulf Coast University. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

If someone is unsure where to start, Veronica invites them to take a first step by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to talk. The focus is on practical next steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Veronica uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes choosing actions that match personal values and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, and it pairs well with ACT and CBT for everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Veronica will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the approach practical and collaborative.

Confirm the current session options before booking to know exactly which online formats are offered. Many people choose online therapy because it can fit more easily into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Veronica uses her approaches to help clients practice skills between sessions, making the work easier to apply in everyday life.
