About Beverly
Beverly Hicks is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, life changes, and relationship challenges. She brings 30 years of experience working with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, mood disorders, parenting strain, and concerns about self-esteem and intimacy.
Her sessions blend a client-centered stance with practical strategies. She listens for each person's priorities and then suggests steps to reduce overwhelm. Conversations often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing skills for managing emotions, and setting small, achievable goals.
Beverly uses several approaches to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change thinking and behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports understanding and expressing feelings in close relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered as a trauma-focused option when appropriate.
She also draws on solution-focused techniques to map clear next steps and on a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s values at the center. Beverly explains interventions in plain language and checks in about what is working.
Sessions emphasize coping skills, rebuilding routine, and practical plans for everyday life. People leave sessions with specific ideas to try between meetings and a shared plan for ongoing progress. To begin, readers should confirm current session options when scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches useful in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's pace, helping them name concerns and choose goals. This approach is useful for people who want a calm, respectful space to sort through their thoughts and everyday habits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns. CBT works well for anxiety, stress, mood challenges, and for changing unhelpful routines.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify, express, and respond to strong emotions in relationships, which can improve closeness and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may start with a client-centered conversation and then add CBT, EFT, or trauma-focused tools as agreed.
Confirm the exact session formats available when booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for focused check-ins between other responsibilities. Ask about current scheduling and format options before your first appointment.
