Beverly Wilkerson, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Beverly

Beverly Wilkerson is a licensed social worker who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, and stress. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting questions, grief, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Beverly speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She draws on 32 years of clinical experience to guide conversations about change. Beverly starts by listening to what matters most and then works with each person to set small, reachable goals.

Background and approach

She believes clients are the experts on their lives and builds on their strengths. Her practice uses techniques from client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new coping skills.

Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce stress and improve day-to-day focus. Beverly has a background helping people with parenting concerns, caregiver stress, aging-related issues, and end-of-life matters like hospice and grief support. She also addresses seasonal affective disorder and feelings of isolation.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered in formats that fit busy lives. Beverly is licensed in Michigan as an LMSW, and she brings a calm, steady presence to the work of change and healing.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist prioritizes the client's goals and helps them lead the conversation, whether over video or text. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT online includes practical exercises and simple between-session tasks to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Beverly works collaboratively to figure out which techniques fit a person's needs and comfort level. She will adjust methods over time based on how someone responds and what they want to achieve.

Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions keep things simple, and live chat or text-based messaging allow short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and practical for everyday 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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
