About Beverly

Beverly Hicks brings 30 years of clinical experience as an LCMHC and LMFT working with adults in North Carolina.

Background and approach

She offers guidance for a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating struggles, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Her practice also addresses specialized topics such as adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, cancer-related concerns, caregiver stress, and co-morbidity. Beverly’s style blends compassionate, client-centered listening with practical, evidence-informed techniques.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills, and uses Emotionally-Focused and Solution-Focused strategies to improve relational patterns and set achievable goals. For clients processing trauma she integrates trauma-focused methods and EMDR where appropriate, tailoring interventions to each person’s history and preferences.

Beverly emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify meaningful goals, strengthen resilience, and develop concrete strategies to move forward. She holds North Carolina and Texas licensure (NC LCMHC 2874, TX LMFT 3662) and conducts work in English.

Beverly’s practice is described by steady clinical experience, pragmatic interventions, and a respectful, strengths-based orientation toward healing and growth.

Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Many clients benefit from a mix of methods tailored to their needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and building a safe, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals guide sessions; this approach is helpful for people seeking validation and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. EMDR is a trauma-focused method used to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, which can be useful for those recovering from traumatic experiences.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods over time so that the mix of interventions reflects the client's needs, preferences, and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with Beverly uses flexible formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. These options allow scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities, enable consistent contact during life transitions, and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward their therapeutic goals.
