About Beverly
Beverly Hicks is a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist in North Carolina. She offers help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, grief, and changes in work or family life. Beverly brings 30 years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to make therapy practical and understandable.
She keeps sessions focused on what a person needs now. Beverly listens first to understand the immediate problem. Then she and the client set clear, achievable goals and try techniques that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
Her style blends client-centered listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. She also uses emotionally-focused techniques and trauma-informed methods when trauma or attachment issues are present. Those methods are chosen to match each person's situation rather than used as a one-size-fits-all solution.
Beverly has worked across many concerns including ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating issues, intimacy-related struggles, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related stress, and the impacts of disasters. Sessions aim to help people build coping skills, manage strong emotions such as anger, and improve communication.
Beverly combines respectful listening with concrete steps clients can practice between appointments. Her goal is steady progress that fits each person’s life and values.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify their goals. This approach is useful for people who need acceptance and a steady place to talk through emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions teach specific skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger management, and coping with life changes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift emotional patterns that fuel conflict or distress. It supports stronger emotional connection to oneself and to others and can be helpful when attachment or intimacy issues are central.
Beverly works collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on the client’s goals and preferences. Choosing a method is part of the therapy, not a one-time decision.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video meetings let people work face-to-face when useful. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and homework support between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, and daily life.
