Veronica Briody, LMFT

Veronica Briody is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and family concerns. Veronica also supports people coping with immigration-related issues and caregiving stress, and she speaks English and Spanish.

Her sessions focus on how patterns from the family someone grew up in continue to influence current relationships and feelings. She helps people notice recurring roles, communication habits, and expectations that show up now. Conversations often include practical steps to change unhelpful patterns and small experiments to try between sessions.

Veronica draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and take action aligned with those values. Attachment-based ideas inform work on closeness, trust, and long-standing relational patterns.

In sessions she favors a client-centered way of working that keeps the person's experience central. Mindfulness practices are offered when they fit someone’s goals, for example to reduce anxiety or manage strong emotions. Her approach blends these methods to address issues like abandonment, codependency, body image, and family of origin difficulties.

People who come to Veronica can expect straightforward discussions about patterns and practical tools they can use between appointments. She invites adults who want to change how family history shows up in their life to explore tangible steps toward clearer communication and fewer repeating hurts.
