About Beverly

Beverly Rivard is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She brings 22 years of experience to sessions and works with clients on issues like ADHD, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, and caregiver fatigue. Beverly practices in English and accepts international clients. Her style centers on building strengths as well as addressing problems. She uses mindfulness and movement practices such as qigong alongside talk therapy to help people calm the mind and build routines that reduce stress. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused approaches to keep work practical and goal-oriented. Beverly offers existential perspectives when people need space to examine meaning, identity, or life purpose. Hypnotherapy is part of her toolkit for clients interested in guided relaxation and focused inner work. These methods are blended to fit each person rather than applied as a fixed protocol. Her background includes social work, counseling, life coaching, and energy healing across more than two decades. She holds LCSW licensure in Utah and Alaska and has worked with both U.S. and international clients. Beverly pays attention to cultural and identity differences, including gender and neurodiversity. Outside of practice she writes, travels, and makes art by hand. She maintains a personal mindfulness and qigong practice and describes her work as grounded in a spiritual outlook. Beverly aims to help people become calmer, clearer, and more resilient.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's view. It helps when someone needs a safe space to talk through feelings and sort priorities. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep, which can be practiced between sessions. Existential therapy invites reflection on meaning, values, and life direction and is useful for people facing big life changes or midlife questions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Beverly will work with each client to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs rather than imposing one style. Together they can try techniques and adjust what is used as work progresses.

The biography does not specify session types, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow short check-ins when time is limited, and let people practice mindfulness or hypnotherapy exercises in their own routines. Licensed professionals often adapt guided relaxation and goal-focused exercises so they fit into everyday life without requiring extra travel or time away from other responsibilities.
