About Beverly

Beverly Hicks is a licensed clinician based in North Carolina with 30 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, grief, depression, and major life changes. Beverly also supports those dealing with trauma, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career stress, and attention-related issues.

Her sessions emphasize listening and respect. She works collaboratively to identify practical steps for daily coping. Beverly draws on person-centered conversation and structured strategies to meet each person where they are.

In practice she may use cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also employs trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals and track progress.

Beverly aims to build a calm, steady therapeutic relationship that helps clients try new ways of handling trouble. She encourages realistic, measurable changes rather than quick fixes. Over time clients work toward clearer priorities and better emotional balance.

Her background includes credentials as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, held in North Carolina and Texas respectively. Beverly has worked across a broad range of concerns, including addiction, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and attachment challenges. She speaks English and does not take international clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. It helps people feel heard and clarify what matters to them, often useful for stress, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought and behavior patterns to find small, practical changes that reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding emotions in relationships and can help with intimacy-related issues and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Beverly will collaborate with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so techniques can be adjusted together.

The original profile does not specify which online formats are used. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people access consistent support from home or during work breaks when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered, and emotionally-focused work to an online setting to keep sessions focused and goal-oriented.
