Getting to know Veronica Pineda

Hi there, I'm Veronica! My name is Veronica Pineda, LCSW. I earned my Master's in Social Work from San Diego State University and have been licensed for over 18 years. I have worked with individuals, families, couples, people with substance use challenges, as well as parties involved in relationships where intimate partner violence has occurred, or those dealing with end-of-life issues and grief. When I am not working, I enjoy playing pickleball, walking my Australian labradoodle, or spending time with my friends and family. My approach My approach to therapy includes a combination of modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused (short-term) therapy, systemic therapy, and other techniques that best meet your needs. My focus My clinical experience spans clients of all ages and from diverse backgrounds and experiences. I enjoy working with people who have a desire to better understand themselves and work toward meeting their goals. My communication style My communication style is direct and honest. I aim to create a partnership where we can have open and honest communication throughout our therapeutic relationship. I may sometimes assign homework as a way to gauge or monitor progress. My journey to mental healthcare As a young woman, I always wanted to "help people." When it was time to expand my education beyond undergraduate work, social work seemed the best fit for me. The versatility of the Master's in Social Work from San Diego State University has allowed me to work with and serve a wide variety of people. I have been in this "helping profession" for over 25 years. What continues to drive my passion is witnessing people experience positive changes-this is truly a priceless experience and the reason I continue to practice. My goals for you My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish and what your goal(s) may be.
