Veronica Cook

Veronica Cook is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in Vermont (VT LCMHC 068.0135506) with four years of professional experience. She supports people facing trauma and abuse, those coping with grief and loss, parents navigating family concerns, and individuals seeking executive or professional coaching. She also works with clients managing ADHD and offers care as a female therapist.

She primarily works with children and adolescents, and she also has experience treating adults who have experienced trauma or who face impairment related to mental health disorders. Veronica aims to create an open, safe space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without judgment.

Veronica gravitates toward client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. A key part of her approach is assessing therapeutic fit to ensure she is the right match for a person’s needs. She views her role as following the client’s lead to determine goals and the pace of work. At times clients seek a listening ear; at other times they want to problem solve. When problem solving is desired, Veronica guides exploration of thoughts and behaviors and helps establish concrete goals for change.

She typically checks messages several times per day Monday through Friday and answers as promptly as possible, while asking for patience when responses take longer due to other client or professional and personal responsibilities. Her regular practice hours are 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm Monday through Friday, and she sometimes responds outside those hours. Clients may also schedule a live session in advance.
