About Beverly
Beverly Hicks is a licensed therapist practicing in North Carolina with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, addiction, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Beverly also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, career struggles, and compassion fatigue. Her style is warm and straightforward.
Sessions focus on what feels most urgent and practical. Beverly listens first, then helps clients build skills and small changes that fit daily life.
She draws on several methods to guide work in therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Emotionally-Focused approaches support clearer emotional expression and stronger connection to one’s feelings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing provides a pathway for processing past trauma when needed.
Over the years Beverly has supported people managing chronic stress, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, ADHD, and complicated grief. She also helps with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, blended family matters, and cancer-related concerns.
Her practice includes coaching-style work when goals and practical steps are a priority. Beverly holds credentials as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
She works with each person to set clear goals and track progress. Sessions may include discussion, skill-building exercises, and focused strategies suited to the client’s needs.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy so clients can explore what matters most to them and build their own solutions. This approach helps with life transitions, low self-esteem, and emotional stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports clearer emotional awareness and helps people process strong feelings that get in the way of daily life.The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. Early sessions are used to learn goals and preferences, and the plan can shift over time as needs change. Clients and the therapist decide together whether skill-building, trauma processing, or emotion-focused work is the right next step.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and continue progress without long travel or rigid timing.
