About Beverly
Beverly Wilkerson supports people coping with addictions, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She helps with self-esteem, parenting concerns, career stress, ADHD, and life transitions. Beverly brings a calm, practical style and encourages clients to build on their strengths.
She treats trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, and family problems with steady listening and clear steps. Beverly uses straightforward methods to help people manage stress and seasonal mood changes. She also offers coaching around caregiving, aging concerns, and end-of-life issues.
How Beverly works
Her work is grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, which means she follows each person’s pace and priorities. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and with Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment skills. Sessions aim to be useful and focused on real-life changes.
Beverly has 32 years of experience in social work and holds an LMSW, a Michigan licensed master social worker. That background informs a practical approach to problem solving and emotional coping. She invites people to bring what matters most to them into the room.
People who feel stuck or overwhelmed often come away with clearer options and small habits to try between sessions. Beverly encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her style is patient, respectful, and goal oriented.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead to set goals. It helps when someone needs a trusting space to sort feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy develops simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, anger, and seasonal mood shifts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Beverly will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That might mean learning a few CBT techniques one week and practicing mindfulness the next; she adjusts plans based on what helps.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for more in-depth sessions and visual cues. Phone works well for lower bandwidth or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can support brief check-ins, homework follow-up, or quick coping prompts between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep progress moving forward.
