Veronica Yazigi

Veronica Yazigi

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and an EMDR Certified Therapist. I also hold CBTI-C certification through the Board of Behavioral Sleep Medicine and have advanced CBT-I training, including a competency-based program through Stanford University’s Sleep and Health Insomnia Program.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, insomnia, perfectionism, rumination, trauma-related distress, life transitions, workplace stress, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are responsible, thoughtful, high-functioning adults who hold everything together for others but privately feel depleted, anxious, stuck in their heads, or disconnected from their own needs.

My work is structured, practical, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based care. I help clients better understand their patterns, build skills, and create changes that can continue beyond therapy.

I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I work with adults from diverse cultural backgrounds, including clients navigating cultural adjustment, identity, belonging, relocation, and cross-cultural stress.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Florida

Searching for therapists in Florida starts with finding a therapist whose training fits what you want support with. Across a large state, therapy options can vary between urban areas, suburbs, and rural communities. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, or life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.

Location, format, and scheduling can shape whether a therapist is a practical fit. In areas like Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, you may find more in-person options, while virtual therapy can expand access across other parts of Florida. Some people prefer an office setting, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile to understand their availability, session style, specialties, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. These details can help you compare your options with more confidence.

The cost of therapy in Florida can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for Florida therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can browse therapists, read bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
