Beverly Hicks brings three decades of clinical experience to her work with adults and families in North Carolina. As a licensed clinician holding LCMHC and LMFT credentials - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she combines professional skill with a compassionate, faith-informed perspective that respects each person’s values and life story.

Her practice centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, major life transitions, and the complex dynamics of relationships and family systems. Beverly has developed focused experience in trauma recovery, social anxiety, and interpersonal conflict, and she also supports those pursuing personal growth and improved emotional well-being. She is particularly committed to serving older adults, women, and individuals who prefer a conservative, Christian-centered approach to therapy.

Beverly’s therapeutic style emphasizes understanding, empowerment, and practical coping strategies. She works collaboratively with clients to identify underlying emotional patterns, rebuild self-esteem, and create meaningful plans for change. Whether addressing workplace stress, grieving a loss, or navigating relationship shifts, Beverly aims to walk alongside people with steady professional guidance and empathetic support.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care

Beverly draws from client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's own goals and values guide the work. This approach prioritizes empathy and collaboration and can be helpful for people seeking support with self-esteem, life transitions, and general emotional support.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behaviors that no longer serve the client. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping skills development.

For clients coping with trauma, Beverly incorporates EMDR techniques to address distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that can help people process past events that continue to affect their daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Beverly works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods over time to find the best fit for healing and growth.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking her care. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow for continuity of care across distances within the same country, and make ongoing support more accessible for people managing work, family, or mobility challenges. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to help clients move toward their goals in ways that work for their lives.
