Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, parenting, or life's deeper questions — I offer a warm, thoughtful, and nonjudgmental space to explore what's happening beneath the surface.
I believe effective therapy is both intellectually curious and emotionally honest. My style is warm and direct — I'll ask the questions that matter, reflect what I observe, and work alongside you with genuine investment in your growth.
I draw from psychodynamic therapy to explore deeper emotional patterns and the roots of recurring struggles. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help you build practical coping strategies for daily life. All of this happens within a relational framework — the therapeutic relationship itself is part of what heals.
Sessions are available via teletherapy throughout New York State, making it easy to fit therapy into a busy life without the commute.

I work with adults navigating a range of challenges — from internal struggles like depression and anxiety, to life's relational and professional demands. Below are some of the most common areas I work in.
Overthinking, perfectionism, performance pressure, panic, and stress that feels impossible to turn off.
Persistent sadness, loss of motivation, numbness, self-doubt, and disconnection from meaning.
Navigating parental identity, guilt, emotional demands, and the challenge of parenting while working.
Work-life boundaries, career transitions, meaning-making, and reclaiming a sense of purpose.
Navigating major changes — new roles, relationships, parenthood, grief, or unexpected disruptions.
Pregnancy, postpartum, identity shifts, self-esteem, and the unique pressures women face.
I'm Veronica Maginnis, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. I bring a warm, thoughtful presence to my clinical work — and a background that's anything but conventional.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent years as a practicing attorney. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for complexity, precision, and the importance of truly listening. I understand the particular pressures of high-stakes professional environments, and I bring that understanding into the therapy room.
I earned my MSW from NYU Silver School of Social Work in 2019, and my Juris Doctor from Brooklyn Law School in 2004. I'm licensed in the State of New York and have been in practice for over 8 years. I speak both English and Spanish.
