Veronique WallaceLCSW

Veronique Wallace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois. She draws on eight years of clinical experience to support people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and other life challenges. Veronique aims to offer a calm, listening presence and practical help for everyday struggles.

She earned a Master of Social Work from Aurora University and has worked with people dealing with hospice and end-of-life worries, caregiving stress, and chronic illness. Her background includes helping clients who are navigating major life transitions and the emotional fallout of trauma and loss.

Veronique describes herself as a non-judgmental, compassionate listener. She shares that her own experiences with therapy shape how she connects with people. In sessions she focuses on helping clients feel heard and on building tools they can use between meetings.

Faith is an important part of her life, and she reports success when partnering with Christian clients who want to integrate scripture and prayer into their coping strategies. She does not present faith as mandatory but offers it for those who find it helpful.

Her approach pulls from cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused work. That mix is used to clarify problems, teach new skills, and set small, achievable goals. Veronique asks questions, listens closely, and collaborates on plans that fit each person's situation.

How her approaches shape online therapy options

Veronique uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build focus in daily life. CBT aims to identify thought patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression and to teach practical skills that reduce distress. Mindfulness therapy helps people learn simple attention and breathing practices to calm anxiety and manage strong emotions.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at longstanding patterns and how past experiences affect current behavior. That work can help people understand where recurring difficulties come from and offer a different way of relating to them. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process - she will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to what feels most helpful for each person.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the platform and formats before booking since session options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between other commitments. The therapist will talk through practical arrangements and tailor session length and focus to match your schedule and goals.
