About Beverly
Beverly Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in North Carolina with 30 years of experience. She helps adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, mood conditions, and life changes.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on clear goals and step-by-step coping strategies. Beverly draws on several approaches to address trauma, emotional patterns, and everyday problems rather than using jargon or long lectures.
Her background includes long experience working with adults facing transitions such as caregiving, adoption and foster care issues, aging concerns, and blended family challenges. She also supports people dealing with chronic conditions like cancer or bipolar disorder and with issues such as codependency, attachment concerns, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she mixes client-centered listening with hands-on techniques. That can look like checking what matters most to the client, teaching tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift harmful thoughts, and using trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way. She helps people practice new ways of communicating and setting limits at home and work.
Beverly works in English and is based in North Carolina. Practical matters such as scheduling, session cost, and the sign-up process are handled through the site’s matching and booking flow. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they talk about what matters. It helps when someone needs a steady, responsive listener and wants to decide goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It teaches straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills for anxiety, depression, or stress.She also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong emotions and to change how they respond to relationship stress. These approaches are practical tools that can be mixed depending on the issue. Figuring out which methods fit best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick approaches that match goals, preferences, and the problem at hand rather than insisting on one fixed method.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. The site’s scheduling flow will show what is offered. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy days, make it easier to have short check-ins, or avoid travel. They also let people continue work from home or a quiet spot when that is more convenient for their schedule.
