Background and approach
Mindfulness and breath-based movement such as qigong are part of her offerings. Hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques appear when clients want short-term goals and clear steps forward. Beverly honors differences in culture, gender, religion, race, lifestyles, and beliefs.
She welcomes U.S. and international clients and notes experience with gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and neurodivergent perspectives. This background informs how she talks through identity-related hurt and family of origin problems. Sessions typically focus on practical skills and small experiments that a person can try between meetings.
She mixes listening with gentle guidance and concrete strategies for better sleep, reduced panic, or improved communication. The pace is set by the client and shaped around realistic goals. Beverly lives in the desert southwest but maintains licensure in Alaska and Utah.
Her varied background includes counseling, social work, life coaching, and energy healing. She brings curiosity and a spiritual practice of mindfulness to the work and aims to help people feel healthier and more hopeful.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist offers an accepting presence, reflects what matters most to the client, and helps people find their own solutions for concerns like anxiety or life transitions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Practices include focused breathing, body awareness, and short meditations that can ease stress, improve sleep, and lower everyday anxiety.
Beverly works collaboratively to find the best fit. She will discuss goals, try different methods, and adjust the approach over time based on what helps the client reach their aims. That shared planning is part of her process.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief coaching, check-ins, and ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity across locations.
