About Beverly

Beverly Crippen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of professional experience. She has practiced in settings that include adoption and foster care, addiction recovery, outpatient mental health programs, faith-based family services clinics, and independent practice. Beverly is licensed in California and Utah, and she offers care from her Utah location.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She centers sessions on the person's own goals and strengths, and she encourages self-discovery as part of change.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear tools rather than abstract theory. Beverly draws on client-centered therapy to create an accepting space where people can think through tough decisions. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Those methods are blended with mindfulness, stress-management skills, and inner child work when helpful. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Additional areas she frequently addresses include adoption and foster care matters, abandonment, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and grief from shame or guilt.

Every plan is practical and personalized. Beverly listens for what matters most, then outlines small, doable steps to try between sessions. Her approach is patient and steady, aimed at clearer choices and better daily functioning.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. It emphasizes listening, validation, and helping people find their own solutions to problems, which can be helpful for stress, life transitions, and parenting questions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Beverly uses CBT to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Beverly starts by hearing what matters most, then suggests methods that match the person’s goals and preferences. She adjusts plans based on what works in real life and what feels manageable.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls let people connect face to face, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide alternatives for shorter check-ins or when real-time video is not practical. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and try tools between sessions, while fitting therapy into daily life.

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.
