Veronica Cook, LCMHC

Veronica Cook is a licensed clinician in Vermont with four years of professional experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults affected by trauma and mental health challenges. She offers targeted help for trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting concerns, and provides executive and professional coaching. Veronica emphasizes a nonjudgmental, open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly and where taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life is met with encouragement and practical support.

Primarily working with children and adolescents, she also brings experience treating adults who face impairment from mental health disorders. Veronica gravitates toward client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. As a practitioner holding an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor), she prioritizes therapeutic fit and will assess whether she is the right match for a client’s needs.

Her approach is collaborative - she follows the client’s lead to set goals, alternating between listening and active problem solving as needed. When problem solving is desired, Veronica guides clients through examining thoughts and behaviors and establishing steps for change. She generally checks messages several times per day Monday through Friday and responds as promptly as possible, while appreciating patience during times of higher demand. Her practice hours are 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm Monday through Friday, and she is sometimes able to reply outside those hours. Live sessions may be scheduled in advance.
