Beverly Crippen, LCSW

Beverly Crippen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 30 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and depression. Her career includes work in adoption and foster care, addiction recovery, mental health hospitals and outpatient programs, faith-based family services clinics, and private practice, which has given her a broad perspective on varied life circumstances and therapeutic needs.

Beverly works with individuals facing a wide range of issues, including trauma or emotional abuse histories, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt, shame, isolation, or uncertainty about life purpose. She also supports clients dealing with money and financial stress, social anxiety, and challenges related to adoption and foster care. Her approach recognizes that each person brings unique strengths and challenges to therapy.

Endorsing a Client-Centered Therapy foundation, Beverly believes people often hold the capacity to identify and resolve their own difficulties when offered respect, encouragement, and the right environment to grow. She combines this orientation with interventions drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical, skills-based approach - as well as mindfulness, inner child work, stress management techniques, and positive psychology. Treatment plans are individualized to reflect each person’s goals and preferences. Beverly is licensed in California and Utah, and her LCSW credential signals advanced clinical training and state licensure to provide therapeutic services.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Beverly Crippen

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment in which the client’s own knowledge and values guide the work. This approach supports people who want to explore identity, self-worth, relationship patterns, parenting questions, and life purpose while feeling heard and encouraged. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is particularly useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and practical coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Beverly collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, blending Client-Centered elements with CBT techniques and other tools as appropriate. The result is a tailored plan that respects where the client is starting and what they hope to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and daily life, and allow ongoing support when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these modalities, helping clients progress toward their goals with convenience and continuity.
