About Veronica
Veronica Crawley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, and depression. Veronica also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and problems tied to family of origin and separation.
She aims to help clients notice new ways of handling thoughts and emotions. Veronica explains options and helps people try different strategies to reach what they want. She emphasizes that making changes requires active effort and time from the client.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in service agency counseling from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

Veronica uses a mix of approaches, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. In sessions she attends to thoughts, emotions, behavior, and the broader context of a person’s life. Work in therapy can include looking at relationships, coping skills for anxiety, and patterns that cause repeated problems.
She expects clients to take an active role in their progress and aims to equip them with practical skills they can use beyond counseling. People interested in beginning work with her are asked to complete the matching steps provided on the site before scheduling a first session.
How Veronica’s approaches translate to online work
Veronica draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape feeling and connection. This approach helps when relational patterns, abandonment fears, or attachment issues make social interactions and intimacy difficult.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. CBT focuses on changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety and avoidance in place, which can be useful for social anxiety and phobic responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Veronica will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options, tries strategies in sessions, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
