About Beverly
Beverly Hicks is a licensed therapist practicing in North Carolina. She holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential and the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential. Beverly draws on 30 years of work helping people handle stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, career pressures, and many other life challenges.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions focus on practical steps persons can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Beverly uses tools that fit each person rather than one fixed method. She blends talk-based work with skills practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused ideas, and EMDR are among the approaches she may use when helpful.
That combination supports recovery from trauma, changes in mood, and problems with relationships or self-worth. Beverly explains options in plain language and works together with clients to choose what feels right. She also addresses related issues such as parenting concerns, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to health or aging when they come up.
Her goal is to help people build coping skills and clearer direction. Clients who prefer remote sessions can meet by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. Beverly notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she holds licenses in North Carolina and Texas as listed.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive space where people can tell their story and identify goals. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges that respond to skills-based work. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional impact when trauma recovery is the main concern.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Beverly works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions let people access care with more flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using the approaches described above.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
