Beverly Vanover, LPC

Beverly Vanover is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, grief, low self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and codependency. Beverly emphasizes helping people who struggle with attachment issues and family of origin problems that affect relationships and emotional regulation.

Beverly earned a Master of Science in Community Counseling from John Brown University. Her background includes community mental health work in hospitals, schools, and day treatment programs. She has facilitated mental health and 12-step groups in community and institutional settings, and she holds credentials used in practice as an LPC in Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado, and Texas.

In sessions she focuses on helping people recognize patterns that keep them stuck. She uses clear, concrete conversation to identify triggers and build practical skills for managing strong emotions. She will talk through ways to reduce anxious thinking, bring down anger intensity, and respond differently to relationship stressors.

Beverly incorporates several common therapeutic methods when they fit the client’s needs. She draws on Client-Centered approaches to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine thoughts and behaviors, Mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness, Solution-Focused ideas for short-term goals, and Trauma-Focused techniques for trauma-related symptoms.

She asks clients to participate actively and to practice between sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Sessions require clients to be physically located in Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado, or Texas at the time of any live counseling contact.
