My interest in counseling grew from my own work recovering from childhood trauma, PTSD, and anxiety. I focus on mindfulness based counseling. Therapy can help you achieve a more fulfilling life and relationships. Therapy is a unique relationship, where you as a client can be completely open and honest. The most important factor in the success of therapy is your connection and relationship with your therapist.

4775 Gadara Road, Keystone Heights, FL

Hello, I’m Veronica Powers, founder and lead therapist at CAVU Counseling. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, a CACREP-accredited program.

I am certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and hold the Equine-Assisted Mental Health Practitioner (EAMHP) certification from the University of Denver. I provide virtual and in-person individual psychotherapy as well as equine-integrated psychotherapy at our Keystone Heights location offering a unique experiential environment that supports emotional growth, self-regulation, and connection.

I work with individuals of all ages, addressing concerns such as trauma, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and complex family dynamics. My professional background also includes hands-on experience with Applied Behavioral Analysis which has strengthened my understanding of behavioral interventions and child development.

My approach is trauma-informed, integrative, and rooted in resilience, focusing on helping clients build insight, self-efficacy, and meaningful change through evidence-based and experiential methods.

If you are looking for a therapist who can sit with the full picture- the child whose ADHD is shaping the whole household, the teen working through an eating disorder, the parent navigating divorce or the adult who's been carrying it for years- that's the work I've spent the last 23 years doing.

I'm an LMHC licensed in Florida, and I've worked with children, adolescents, families, and (over the past three years) adults across homes, schools, outpatient settings, and social service agencies. I have particular experience with military connected families, blended families, and clients navigating ADHD, eating disorders, anxiety, mood and bipolar disorders, grief, and the kinds of life transitions that shake your sense of self.
