About Beverly
Beverly Hicks is a licensed clinician with 30 years of practice in North Carolina. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, life changes, addictions, grief, and a wide range of relationship and personal concerns. Beverly brings a compassionate, faith-informed perspective that many clients find steady during difficult times.
Her work tends to be straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now, naming patterns that cause pain, and trying small changes that bring relief. She combines Client-Centered listening with practical tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods.
Beverly also uses trauma-focused approaches when needed, including Emotionally-Focused techniques and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. These approaches are applied gently and only when they fit a person’s needs and readiness. She pays attention to how identity, life stage, and past hurts shape present struggles.
Over three decades she has supported people dealing with ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, caregiving stress, and concerns related to adoption and foster care. Beverly aims to help clients build clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and steadier self-esteem.
Her sessions emphasize practical coping strategies and realistic steps toward goals. People who choose her often want a values-respecting approach that blends empathy with concrete techniques. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions using this approach are a place to be heard, name concerns, and set goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes; online CBT often uses focused exercises and agreed homework to practice between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend whether a listening-focused approach, CBT, or a trauma-informed method makes the most sense. That plan can change as needs evolve and progress is reviewed together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone join from a quieter place with less background noise. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing, homework, and session structure to work well in remote appointments.
