Veronica Dover Hoffman, LMFT

Veronica Dover Hoffman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 27 years of clinical experience helping individuals, couples, families, and children navigate life’s challenges. Her therapeutic style is warm, welcoming, and affirming, grounded in a client-centered perspective that emphasizes collaboration and the goals each person brings to therapy. She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including partner relational issues, parenting challenges, anxiety and depression, coping with life changes, and both personal and professional stress.

Veronica brings specialized training in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, an evidence-informed approach that supports parents and young children ages 2 to 7 who are coping with significant behavioral difficulties. She also holds a certificate in aging, which informs her work with older adults and the caregiving issues that can accompany life stage transitions. Over her career she has supported people across the lifespan, attending to the needs of children, teens, young adults, midlife clients, and older adults.

Her clinical approach integrates client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy. This blend helps clients explore how thoughts and emotions influence behavior while identifying practical strategies and small, measurable changes that support progress. Veronica places additional emphasis on life stages and development, helping clients understand current concerns within the broader context of their personal life course and common developmental tasks.

Recognizing that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, Veronica aims to create a supportive environment that honors the courage it takes to reach out. She focuses on building a respectful, collaborative space where clients can explore change, develop coping skills, and move toward the outcomes they seek.
