About Beverly

Beverly Rivard is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, and life transitions. She uses a strength-based approach that focuses on what already works in someone’s life. Beverly works with concerns including depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.

Beverly blends practical tools with mindful practice. She brings client-centered listening and solution-focused planning to sessions so people can set small, achievable goals. Mindfulness exercises and qigong are woven into her work to help reduce stress and improve rest and sleep habits.

Her background includes work as a counselor, social worker, life coach, and energy healing practitioner. She holds LCSW licensure in Utah and Alaska and has spent more than two decades supporting people through change. Beverly welcomes clients from the U.S. and other countries and pays attention to cultural and identity differences.

Sessions aim to be practical and paced to each person. Beverly helps people notice strengths, try new habits, and adjust plans when needed. She often focuses on improving daily routines, coping skills, and ways to ease anxious or racing thoughts that interfere with sleep.

Outside of practice she keeps a personal mindfulness and qigong practice and enjoys writing and making things by hand. Her style is warm and direct, intended to help people feel steadier and more rested over time.

How her approaches shape online care

Beverly uses client-centered and mindfulness-based approaches to guide online sessions. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience so they feel heard and can steer the work. This approach helps with stress, life changes, and finding workable solutions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve rest. These practices can support people who struggle with anxiety, racing thoughts at night, or interrupted sleep. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and build small steps that lead to concrete change, useful for improving routines and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's life and adjust as needed.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also allows continuity for people who live in different places or travel frequently, while keeping the focus on building routines, sleep practices, and everyday coping skills.
