About Beverly
Beverly Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in North Carolina with 30 years of experience. She lists social anxiety among her areas of focus and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship problems.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems going and practical ways to try something different. Beverly blends approaches that suit the person in the room rather than sticking to a single method.
Her work includes trauma recovery, grief, addiction concerns, and difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people facing career change, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and health-related challenges. The biography notes additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and aging concerns.
Her listed clinical tools include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, EMDR, and solution-focused techniques. Those tools are used to help people manage symptoms, develop coping skills, and address past events that still cause distress.
Beverly describes a faith-informed perspective in her background. She aims to collaborate with each person to build practical coping strategies and to address relationship and life-goal concerns in ways that align with their values. People interested in scheduling are invited to follow the site steps to review online therapy options and set a first session.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the concerns a person brings. It helps someone feel understood and guides decisions about what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety and teaches practical skills to change them. It often includes small experiments to test new ways of coping. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used for processing past distressing memories and can reduce the intensity of troubling recall when applied as part of trauma-focused work.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and suggest options to try. The plan can adjust over time if something is not helping or if priorities change.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are provided, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let some people avoid travel time. It can also mean using fewer visual cues if bandwidth is limited or choosing a phone call for a brief follow-up. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and the kinds of sessions you prefer.
