Veronica Harper, LPC — Therapist in Alabama

Hi there, I'm Veronica!

My approach to counseling includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and at some point, I may use the eclectic approach. My areas of focus include anger management, depression, anxiety, grief, stress, and self-esteem.

My focus

I have experience in working with all populations from ages 2-65, including males, females, male inmates, gender dysphoria, adolescents, couples, and individuals. I have treated clients with suicidal ideations, but I'm most comfortable with depression and anxiety.

My approach

I meet clients where they are, sometimes using an eclectic approach. My specialty is Cognitive Behavior Therapy—I believe our thoughts and beliefs affect our feelings and behavior. I establish a trusting relationship, creating a welcoming environment for you to express your feelings.

My communication style

I try to create a warm and genuine environment by being a good listener, being objective, and providing feedback when needed. Working with me will be challenging, interesting, progressive, and affective therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a counselor because I like empowering others and assisting them in exploring their feelings. I am interested in an individual's well-being toward personal growth and ensuring that they have a quality of life. I want clients to feel good about admitting that they are not ok, and help is needed.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by exploring to find out what it is that the client wants to work on or through, what they believe is the issue or problem.

Our first session

During the first session, we'll focus on building rapport and setting expectations. The first session will be more of an intake session discussing the issues or why you are seeking therapy.
