Approaches used in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques are central to her work. One common method focuses on skills training for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to reduce avoidance and build tolerance for feared situations. This approach helps people practice small, manageable steps toward social or performance situations.Another approach addresses addiction-related behaviors by mapping triggers, developing coping strategies, and creating concrete relapse-prevention plans. This helps people notice patterns and try alternative actions when urges arise. Both methods emphasize repeated practice and short exercises that can be used between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Beverly works with clients to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This is a collaborative effort that focuses on what the client wants to change and what feels workable for them.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists also commonly adapt exercises to work well over video or phone, which can make practicing real-life skills more convenient for day-to-day life.
