Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps rather than long lectures. Beverly uses client-centered methods that put the person’s priorities first. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking that get in the way.
Motivational interviewing techniques help when someone is unsure or ambivalent about change. People come to Beverly for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, bipolar challenges, anger, and self-esteem. She also supports career transitions and coping with major life changes.
Her approach blends talk, problem-solving, and coaching so people leave with clear next steps. She holds a Florida and an Arkansas license as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - FL LCSW SW16185 and AR LCSW 2283-C. Therapy is offered in English and delivered through several online formats to fit different schedules.
How Beverly’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters most to the person. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what is heard, and helps the person set their own goals; this works well for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. Beverly uses CBT techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method for people who feel unsure about change. It helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds motivation without pressure, often useful with addiction or ambivalence about treatment.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Beverly will discuss options and adapt techniques based on the person’s goals, preferences, and progress. The plan can shift over time as needs change.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from any location. Phone sessions offer a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging fit quick check-ins, short coaching, or a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to choose what works best for each session.
