About Beverly
Beverly Rivard is an LCSW with 22 years of experience and holds LCSW licensure in Utah and Alaska. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, parenting strains, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and life changes including midlife challenges and career transitions.
She prefers a strengths-based approach that builds what is already working while addressing problems. Beverly uses mindfulness and qigong practices to help reduce stress and support daily routines. She also integrates client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical and goal-oriented.
Beverly has experience with issues linked to identity and neurodiversity, including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and recovery from harms tied to race or gender. She also supports adults managing caregiving responsibilities, aging and geriatric matters, blended family adjustments, divorce and family of origin problems, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Her style is straightforward and paced to each person. Sessions mix conversation, short mindfulness exercises, and action steps to try between meetings. She draws on hypnotherapy techniques at times when clients want to address sleep or persistent patterns.
She offers services to people in the U.S. and internationally. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. It involves listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. This approach helps with stress, relationship worries, and life decisions.Mindfulness therapy teaches brief practices and attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and daily functioning. It is useful for anxiety, compassion fatigue, and managing strong emotions. Solution-focused work zeroes in on small, practical steps and realistic goals. It helps when someone wants concrete strategies for parenting strain, work stress, or coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beverly will help figure out which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches lend themselves to brief practices or worksheets that work well in remote sessions, while others may include guided relaxation or hypnotherapy-style techniques that can be done with verbal guidance.
