About Veronica
Veronica Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings ten years of experience helping people who feel stuck by listening closely and guiding practical steps forward. Veronica focuses on day-to-day problems like stress, anxiety, depression, sleep struggles, relationship strain, grief, and addiction.
She also supports people facing life changes, career concerns, and identity questions. Her work is grounded in Narrative therapy and client-centered methods that start with the person’s story.
Background and approach
Sessions look at the stories people tell about themselves and find ways to rewrite those narratives so they work better. Veronica combines this with tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Veronica helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and then practices alternatives together in session.
She uses short exercises, skill-building, and real-life experiments so new ways of living can be practiced between meetings. Her style is direct but warm, focusing on what the person wants to change and realistic steps to get there. She also addresses more specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, domestic violence effects, and blended family challenges.
Veronica pays attention to how trauma shows up in daily life and works at a pace that fits each person. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits them.

Online session options
How narrative and acceptance approaches translate to online care
Veronica draws on Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how life events and relationships shape self-narratives and opens space to consider alternative, more useful stories that support change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used alongside narrative work to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then take values-driven actions that matter to them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Veronica talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether narrative techniques, ACT strategies, or cognitive-behavioral exercises are most useful, and she adjusts methods as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video lets people work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in works best. Live chat and text messaging provide flexible ways to share thoughts between meetings and keep momentum going. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to match format to the work being done in therapy.
