Beverly Hicks, LCMHC, LMFT

Beverly Hicks is a licensed therapist with thirty years of experience supporting people through addiction, stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She offers calm, direct support for practical problems like workplace stress, parenting strain, grief, and relationship tension. Beverly uses a respectful, person-centered style that aims to help people feel understood and make steady progress.

Her sessions focus on clear goals and workable steps. She listens first, then helps clients identify patterns and try small changes that add up. Beverly uses tools from cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused work to tackle unhelpful thoughts and build new routines.

She also incorporates emotion-focused and trauma-informed practices when past hurts affect present choices. When trauma is part of the picture, she draws on methods that address upsetting memories and emotional responses so they have less power in daily life. Beverly adapts her pace to each person’s needs.

Beverly holds credentials as an LCMHC and an LMFT and practices in North Carolina. She has spent her career working with adults facing a broad range of concerns, including addiction, depression, bipolar challenges, ADHD, caregiver stress, and issues tied to adoption and aging. Her style is steady and collaborative, focused on practical coping and clearer relationships.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person first and focuses on listening, understanding, and helping clients name what matters. Online sessions can still center on careful listening and drawing out a person's own goals and strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions clients and therapist can work on practical exercises, track patterns between meetings, and try small behavior changes together.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong emotions and improve how they express needs. This approach can be used online to practice new ways of relating and to process strong feelings safely with support.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Beverly will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and daily life, then suggest approaches that fit those needs. The plan can be adjusted as therapy moves forward.

If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work between appointments by using agreed homework and skill practice.
