About Beverly

Beverly Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 28 years of experience. She focuses on common struggles that bring parents and adults to therapy - stress, anxiety, mood difficulties, relationship problems, grief, addictions, and parenting concerns. Beverly writes plainly and listens closely to help people make practical changes that fit their family life.

She uses clear, direct conversations to identify what is getting in the way and what can be done differently.

Background and approach

Her approach mixes tried methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening and attention to attachment patterns. Sessions aim to build skills for coping, improve communication, and reduce conflict. Beverly trained extensively and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC.

She has worked in a wide range of settings, including community mental health, psychiatric hospitals, residential programs, juvenile and adult criminal justice, therapeutic foster care, and intensive outpatient substance abuse programs. This variety informs a pragmatic style that suits complex family situations. In sessions she often helps people sort priorities, set small goals, and practice new ways of interacting.

She also draws on motivational strategies when helping someone change an entrenched habit or substance use. The tone is supportive and straightforward, aimed at concrete progress rather than jargon. Outside of work she enjoys family time, music, reading, travel, cooking, and games.

Beverly communicates in English and works with adults in South Carolina.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. In sessions this means identifying patterns in how people connect, then practicing new ways to feel and act more supported with loved ones. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and practical homework to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Beverly will discuss goals, try strategies in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The work is collaborative - the therapist and client test ideas together and pick what fits the client's life and family responsibilities.

Online therapy offers several ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when schedules are tight. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or use brief coaching during stressful moments. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday family routines.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
