About Beverly

Beverly Rivard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience as a counselor, social worker, life coach, and energy healing practitioner. She combines a strengths-based, positive psychology perspective with practical stress-management tools to help people build resilience while addressing current problems.

Background and approach

Beverly integrates mindfulness practices and qigong into her work to support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and promote overall wellbeing. Licensed to practice in both Alaska and Utah, she works with clients in the United States and internationally and honors differences in culture, gender, religion, race, lifestyles, and belief systems.

Beverly welcomes people recovering from pain related to race, gender, beliefs, or neurodivergent ways of thinking, and she maintains a focus on issues including anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns, parenting, career transitions, and aging-related challenges. Outside of clinical work, Beverly enjoys traveling, writing, and creating with pen and paper, yarn, beads, and clay.

She maintains a personal practice of mindfulness meditation and qigong and describes her work as informed by a deep spiritual perspective. She looks forward to meeting prospective clients and supporting their efforts to become healthier and more fulfilled.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and perspective, creating a collaborative space where the therapist listens deeply and helps the person identify strengths and choices that support change. This approach is useful for relationship issues, life transitions, and building self-understanding.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings. It can help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and emotional reactivity by developing practical skills for calming the nervous system and increasing clarity.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, achievable goals and practical steps toward them. It is well suited to clients seeking to address specific problems like workplace stress, coping strategies, or short-term behavioral shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Beverly Rivard works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical.
