About Veronica
Dr. Veronica Martin-Perkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Dr. Martin-Perkins uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of several approaches. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In practice she helps people name hard emotions and notice the patterns that keep those feelings repeating.
Her work looks at how attachment and emotional responses shape relationships and daily life. She helps clients identify the thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and depression. When trauma and grief are present, she focuses on practical ways to manage strong reactions and to make sense of painful experiences.
Long experience in counseling and education informs her style. She explains tools and strategies in simple terms. Sessions often mix talking and concrete practice so people can try different ways of responding between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It is often used for relationship patterns and attachment-related reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to choose actions that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand how they affect trust and closeness.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, attachment work, or another approach fits best for their needs and goals. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so methods can shift if needed.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without needing to travel. Licensed professionals can adapt emotional and behavioral exercises for remote meetings so people can practice skills between sessions.
