Veronica Cox

My mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment where individuals of all ages can grow, heal, and achieve personal, academic, and professional success. I am committed to helping clients identify their strengths, overcome challenges, and develop the skills needed to live healthy, meaningful, and fulfilling lives.

My counseling approach is both educational and therapeutic, helping clients become more goal-oriented while gaining a deeper understanding of themselves, their experiences, and the factors that influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through collaboration and evidence-based interventions, we work together to create lasting positive change.

I earned a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2017 and am credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC #17133), National Certified Counselor (NCC #817300), and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate (LCASA #29759A). With more than eight years of experience, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing emotional, behavioral, social, and substance use concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

• I utilize an eclectic, evidence-based approach tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. Counseling begins with a comprehensive assessment, followed by the collaborative development of a treatment plan. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of effective counseling, and I strive to create a supportive environment where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, and achieve personal growth. Approaches I commonly draw on include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy, selecting and tailoring what best fits each client's needs and goals.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know one another and begin building the foundation of our work together. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, what you have been experiencing, and what you hope to accomplish. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with — there is no pressure to cover everything right away. By the end of our first session, we will begin identifying your goals and outline an approach that feels right for you. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, respected, and supported, and with a clear sense of what comes next.
