About Beverly

Beverly Wilkerson is a Michigan-licensed LMSW with 32 years of professional experience supporting people facing addictions, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

She also works with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, career questions, and ADHD, as well as specialized topics like caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation, and seasonal affective disorder.

Beverly frames clients as the experts on their own stories and builds on existing strengths to address the problems that brought them to therapy. Her style emphasizes listening, collaboration, and practical skill-building.

She draws from client-centered principles to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space, incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and uses mindfulness practices to help people manage stress and stay present.

Beginning therapy is recognized as a courageous step, and Beverly supports each person through the early stages of engagement while helping them set achievable goals and track progress over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Client-centered work focuses on listening deeply and affirming clients' perspectives so people feel heard and can explore their goals without judgment; this approach helps with building self-esteem, motivation, and clarity about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Mindfulness-based techniques teach present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage emotional ups and downs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together so the work fits the client's life and priorities rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult and allow for more frequent check-ins or varied ways to practice skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above to work effectively in these remote formats while accommodating each client's logistical needs.
