Veronica Johnson

Veronica Johnson helps people grow and regain peace, joy, and healing by offering nonjudgmental counseling grounded in empathy, encouragement, and steady support. She works collaboratively with clients to identify practical tools for overcoming obstacles, deescalating tense situations, making clearer choices, and negotiating positive outcomes to become the best version of themselves.

Her approach is built on partnership. Veronica and each client decide together which concerns are most pressing and map out how to address them. She is upfront that working through emotional issues can be painful and that feeling worse at times is a common part of confronting past and present conflicts on the path to wellness.

Throughout therapy clients will identify troublesome situations, increase awareness of thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, and learn to spot negative or inaccurate thinking. She guides clients in reshaping those patterns and building coping skills so they can move toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Veronica is an experienced, eclectic clinician who draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered approaches, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness practices. She has worked with adults ages 21 to 75 from diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds and has supported people managing anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, domestic violence, school and work concerns, suicidal or homicidal ideation, anger, bullying, trauma, and crisis situations.

Before transitioning to counseling, Veronica spent more than twenty-five years in the corporate world as an Executive Assistant. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2001 and a Master of Arts in Counseling in 2004 from Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri. She began her social services career in 2006, became a licensed professional counselor in Missouri in 2012, and obtained licensure in Texas in 2017. Veronica is a member of the American Counseling Association and the Texas Counseling Association.
