About Beverly

Beverly Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly three decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem concerns, career decisions, bipolar disorder, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, client-centered work, and solution-focused methods to tailor care to each person's goals. Her background includes leadership and direct clinical roles across community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, residential programs, criminal justice settings, therapeutic foster care, and intensive outpatient substance abuse programs.

Beverly completed graduate studies in counseling and holds professional credentials as an LPC and supervisor in South Carolina and Oklahoma, as well as national board certification. She also has specialized training as a relationship inventory facilitator and in batterer's intervention program work, which inform her approach to relationship and safety issues.

Known for warm engagement and practical problem-solving, Beverly emphasizes collaboration and concrete strategies that clients can apply between sessions. Outside of her clinical work she enjoys family time, music, reading, travel, cooking, dancing, and games.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and explores how early bonds shape feelings and expectations; this can help clients address attachment issues and improve communication in current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaborative pacing so clients can explore goals and values while feeling heard.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Beverly works with clients to weigh different methods and adapt techniques based on personal goals, preferences, and the issues presented. Together they identify which strategies to prioritize and adjust over time rather than relying on a single fixed method.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to continue care when in-person visits are impractical. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and continuity of care while allowing licensed professionals to tailor pacing and tools to each client's needs.
