About Beverly
Beverly Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in North Carolina with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, life changes, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, and other emotional difficulties. Beverly also lists work with parenting, intimacy issues, eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar and depression among her areas of focus.
Her approach emphasizes a client-centered way of working. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them name the patterns that keep repeating. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying helpful changes, and practicing new responses in everyday life.
Beverly draws on several established methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, EMDR for trauma-related material, and solution-focused steps to build practical change. These methods are used to address things like anxiety, trauma recovery, communication problems, and coping with major life transitions.
She has particular interest in adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and aging-related concerns. Beverly also notes experience with co-morbidity, codependency, and complex mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.

How Beverly integrates approaches during online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people clarify their own goals and notice family patterns that affect current relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking, and build new habits for handling stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people track how emotions shape interactions and attachment-related reactions. It is often used when relationship patterns and closeness are central concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Beverly will discuss these methods and help decide which to try based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
