About Beverly
Beverly Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in North Carolina with 30 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and codependency. Beverly also works with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, mood issues including depression and bipolar, and career-related stress.
Her style is straightforward and faith-informed, and she blends practical tools with conversational work. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep someone stuck, and on building clearer boundaries and better coping skills. She uses evidence-based techniques alongside person-centered listening to help clients make small, usable changes.
Beverly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot the thoughts that fuel anxiety and unhelpful behavior. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at how feelings shape relationships. For trauma and difficult memories she can include EMDR-informed methods when appropriate.
Clients can expect collaborative problem solving and short-term strategies when needed, plus deeper work on long-standing patterns. Beverly pays attention to how faith and values influence choices, and she integrates that when a client wants it. She invites practical steps people can use between sessions to test new ways of relating.
Her practice includes a range of life-stage and caregiving concerns such as adoption and foster care, aging and caregiver stress, blended family issues, and attachment challenges. Sessions are offered in English and she does not work with international clients.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify values and choices; it helps when someone feels lost in relationships or unsure how to set limits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new actions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at interaction patterns and the feelings behind them to shift how people relate in close relationships.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Beverly will review needs and goals with a client and recommend whether to emphasize CBT skills, EFT-style relational work, or trauma-focused steps. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and options that reduce travel time. Because this biography did not list specific session formats, confirm current online and in-person options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, emotionally focused conversations, and trauma processing to remote sessions, and Beverly will discuss which tools suit a client's situation during the first meetings.
