Veronica Richards, LMSW
Specializes In:
Veronica Richards helps individuals and families find steadiness, understanding, and practical ways to move forward, providing individual therapy at LifeStance Health for patients across Delaware. She works with children, adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors, offering a supportive and respectful space to address emotional concerns, life transitions, and ongoing mental health needs. Veronica’s style is thoughtful and collaborative, helping patients feel heard while building skills that support long-term wellbeing. Veronica is especially focused on helping patients manage anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. She supports individuals who feel overwhelmed by emotional distress, past experiences, or major changes, and she works to help patients develop insight, resilience, and healthier coping patterns. Her approach emphasizes creating safety in the therapeutic relationship while helping patients regain a sense of control and confidence in their daily lives. In her work, Veronica draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support emotional regulation, behavioral change, and values-based decision-making. She also has experience working with individuals involved in adoption or foster care, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and first responders. In addition to her primary areas of focus, Veronica provides care for a wide range of other mental health concerns and life challenges. Outside of therapy, Veronica enjoys reading, watching television and movies, swimming, learning new things, and spending time with friends, family, and her pets. These interests reflect her appreciation for balance, curiosity, and connection, qualities she brings into her clinical work.
