Veronica Onsurez-Pannell

Veronica Onsurez-Pannell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years in behavioral health. She helps people who feel stuck by listening closely and working with them to find clearer paths forward. Her approach is calm and respectful, and she aims to create a space where clients feel heard without judgment.

She has broad experience with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and substance-use concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, workplace stress, and major life changes such as divorce and separation. Veronica brings practical focus to sessions so clients leave with concrete next steps they can try between meetings.

Her style is collaborative. Veronica helps clients identify strengths and make plans that fit their daily lives. She uses proven, evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Veronica works with individuals on issues that include mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, process addictions, and self-harm concerns. She also addresses multicultural issues and challenges faced by veterans and those connected to the armed forces. Her long experience in Texas informs a direct but compassionate way of guiding change.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Veronica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying patterns that keep problems going and then testing new behaviors to change those patterns; this helps with mood disorders, relationship concerns, and impulsive behaviors. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and stressful experiences in ways that reduce their hold on daily life, which can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Veronica treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques based on what is and isn’t working and checks in regularly to adjust the plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It can also let people keep therapy going when they are out of town or balancing work and family demands. Licensed professionals can guide how to make online sessions work practically for each person’s schedule and goals.
