About Beverly
Beverly Nicholas is an Oklahoma-based licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 27 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting concerns, and trauma. She works with individuals who are struggling with mood shifts, relationship strain, self-esteem challenges, ADHD, and the practical burdens of daily life.
Beverly emphasizes respect and a nonjudgmental way of working so people feel heard from the start. She focuses on helping people build steady, manageable change rather than chasing quick fixes.
Background and approach
Sessions start by clarifying what feels heaviest and what the person most wants to change. Beverly asks direct questions about goals and hopes so the work stays practical and focused. Beverly uses several evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person.
She leans on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons and energy to change.
Her background includes extensive work with substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges, and she pays attention to how trauma affects daily functioning. Beverly also has an interest in supporting women with children and addresses challenges related to adoption, blended families, caregiver stress, and fatherhood issues when they arise.
People can expect straightforward conversations about what healing or progress looks like for them. Beverly aims to help clients reconnect with their abilities and set small, doable steps toward a more manageable life. The first sessions focus on what matters most and on creating a clear path forward.
How Beverly’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client says matters. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps people find their own solutions, which can be done through conversation and focused questions online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses concrete exercises to change them; online sessions can introduce simple homework or thought-tracking tools to practice between meetings. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation to find a person’s own reasons to change and to build momentum, useful when someone feels stuck about addiction, parenting changes, or other goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Beverly will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made or as priorities change.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Some people find phone-only meetings easier when bandwidth is low, while others prefer video for face-to-face conversation. Talk with Beverly during the match process to find the best format and schedule that fits 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.
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.
