Veronique Wallace, LCSW

Veronique Wallace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Illinois. She earned a Master of Social Work from Aurora University and has been licensed since 2013. Veronique draws on eight years of clinical experience helping people facing a wide range of life challenges.

She offers straightforward, compassionate listening and aims to make sessions feel understandable and manageable. She often supports people coping with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and addiction. Midlife concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and workplace strain are also areas she addresses.

Veronique uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change patterns of thinking and behavior. Mindfulness techniques are used to build calm and present-moment awareness. Psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused work may also guide conversations depending on what a person needs.

Her background includes hospice and end-of-life counseling and work with caregivers, so she is familiar with grief, complex medical situations, and the emotional demands of long-term care. She also supports people dealing with issues tied to identity, prejudice, and multicultural concerns.

Veronique identifies as Christian and notes that faith and prayer have been part of her work with some clients when that fits their goals. She describes herself as non-judgmental and compassionate, and says her own experiences with counseling inform how she listens to others.

People who want practical strategies, calm reflection, and an accepting listener may find her style a good fit. Those interested in integrating faith into therapy can discuss that preference during the intake process.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Veronique commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to increase calm and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress and chronic pain.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss a person’s goals and preferences and help decide whether CBT, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, or solution-focused steps make the most sense. That plan can change as the work progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the practitioner notes. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online sessions can support applied skills practice between meetings and let conversations continue when scheduling or distance would otherwise be a barrier.
