How Beverly’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them, which is useful when navigating life transitions or midlife concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Beverly uses CBT to teach practical skills for anxiety, sleep problems, mood management, and changing unhelpful habits.

Motivational Interviewing helps people move past mixed feelings about change. It’s often used when someone wants to cut down substance use, build healthier routines, or find motivation for major life shifts.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Beverly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
