About Beverly
Beverly Hicks is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, life transitions, and addiction. She brings 30 years of experience in North Carolina to support adults who need steadier coping skills and clearer direction. Her work often covers relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first and then helps shape practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions may include focused work on thinking patterns, emotional responses, and short-term goals so progress feels tangible.
Beverly uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. She draws on client-centered methods to build trust, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trauma-focused techniques when past events are causing ongoing harm. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, may be part of recovery work when trauma is central.
People often come for help with parenting stress, codependency, caregiver strain, career pressure, or mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. Beverly also supports those facing adoption and foster-care related issues, aging and geriatric matters, and medical-related stress like cancer caregiving.
Her approach is faith-informed and values each person's background and beliefs. She aims to help people find practical coping strategies, rebuild relationships with themselves and others, and move toward healthier daily routines.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist creates a respectful space and helps clients find their own solutions, which can be valuable when sorting through anxiety or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses concrete exercises and homework to shift unhelpful patterns and is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and mood issues.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories. When trauma is central to a person's difficulty, elements of EMDR can be introduced as part of recovery work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made along the way based on what is working for the client.
Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing scheduling around work or caregiving. They also allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful and let people choose conversation styles that feel most comfortable.
