01 · Who Veronique works with

Veronique works with stress, Anxiety, trauma and abuse and depression

Veronique lists 15 specialisms and 14 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Veronique chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Veronique's own words

What Veronique says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois. I received my Master's degree in Social Work from Aurora University, and I have been licensed since 2013. I have worked with clients with a vast array of needs and concerns including depression, anxiety, hospice and end of life concerns, caregiver concerns.

I am also a Christian, and have had great success with helping Christian clients to decrease their depression and anxiety, by assisting them with strengthening their faith through the word of God and prayer.

I am a great listener who is non-judgmental and compassionate. I have had difficulties in my life which have caused me to seek counseling as well , so I understand how it feels to be vulnerable. If you are ready to take that step, I am ready to listen.

03 · How Veronique works

The 4 approaches Veronique lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Veronique lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Veronique's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Veronique runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Works on the assumption that current patterns - in relationships, at work, in how you treat yourself - have a history, and that seeing the history loosens the pattern. Less structured than CBT, usually longer, and more interested in what comes up unbidden than in a weekly agenda.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Veronique practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Veronique's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Veronique at this point.

2. Naming Veronique specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Veronique is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Veronique.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Veronique

Built from what Veronique actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Veronique's - Veronique has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Veronique's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Veronique. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
