About Beverly
Beverly Knighten is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience. She began her career in clinical settings and has supported people dealing with mood struggles, stress, addiction, and major life changes. Beverly communicates plainly and focuses on practical steps that people can use right away.
Her style is warm and interactive. She listens first, then helps clients set small goals. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what the person needs in daily life.
Background and approach
Beverly avoids judgment and aims to create a respectful space. She draws from several common therapy methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered conversation. Those tools help people notice unhelpful thinking, try different behaviors, and build skills for coping.
She also uses motivational interviewing to help with change and solution-focused ideas to identify steps that move a person forward. Beverly works with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, addictions, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career decisions. She also supports people facing bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and coping with life transitions.
Practical matters are straightforward. Beverly sees people online in Arkansas and offers several session formats. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.
To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect a person to care.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps them clarify what matters most in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thinking that make problems worse and then try practical new behaviors to change how they feel.Beverly uses these approaches to help clients set concrete goals and test small changes between sessions. She also draws on motivational interviewing when someone is weighing a change; that method helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds internal motivation. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work and is decided together based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy makes these methods more accessible. Video calls let the therapist and client talk face to face. Phone sessions offer a simpler option when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in, get coaching-style feedback, or keep a conversation going between longer sessions. These formats provide flexibility around work, parenting, and other time pressures while keeping the focus on practical steps and measurable progress.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
