About Beverly
Beverly Hicks helps people facing stress, anxiety, life changes, and addiction concerns. She draws on 30 years of clinical experience in North Carolina and holds credentials as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Beverly emphasizes a respectful, person-focused way of working that aims to restore steadiness during hard seasons.
Her sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps identify patterns that contribute to distress.
How Beverly works
From there she offers tools for coping, clearer communication, and managing overwhelming emotions. She uses approaches that match each person's needs instead of a one-size-fits-all plan. Beverly blends client-centered care with skills from cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work.
She also draws on emotionally focused strategies and trauma-informed methods when they fit the concern at hand. That mix is intended to address symptoms and the life situations that keep them happening. Over three decades she has worked with a wide range of issues, from grief, trauma, and depression to relationship and intimacy-related struggles.
Her background includes attention to adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and attachment-related concerns. Beverly also supports people coping with chronic illness and cancer-related stress. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs.
She works in English and carries licenses in North Carolina as an LCMHC and in Texas as an LMFT, reflecting long-term clinical practice across systems.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and respecting each person's priorities, helping people feel heard while they identify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical skill-building to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and change patterns in close relationships and deep emotional responses that drive conflict or disconnection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beverly collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, concerns, and comfort. She will explain options, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made so the approach fits the individual's needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let a therapist and client use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, homework support, and flexible communication between scheduled sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel demands, and help people access licensed professionals from different locations.
