About Beverly
Beverly Hodsden brings nearly 38 years of clinical practice to her work, combining evidence-based methods with a client-centered sensibility. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches that emphasize collaboration, strengths, and practical change to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictive behaviors.
Background and approach
Beverly frames treatment around clear goals and skills building while attending to the individual emotional context each person brings. Her practice in New Jersey includes support for relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem concerns, sleep and eating problems, and mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation.
Beverly also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, and multicultural concerns, helping clients explore patterns that maintain distress and learn alternative ways of coping. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used to foster readiness for change and identify actionable steps toward recovery.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), she emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental environment in which clients can process past experiences, improve communication, and pursue life purpose and meaning. Beverly aims to help people gain emotional resilience, reduce problematic symptoms, and strengthen the skills needed for more fulfilling day-to-day living.
Integrating evidence-based approaches in online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns; it can be effective for anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist reflects and supports the client's own capacity for growth, which is especially helpful for self-esteem, grief, and relational issues. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify ambivalence and strengthen motivation to change, making it useful for addiction, lifestyle shifts, and readiness-driven goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Beverly collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends techniques as appropriate so that treatment targets both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns in a way that fits the client's pace.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which increase flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access consistent care from New Jersey. These formats allow therapists and clients to work together across different situations and support ongoing skill practice between sessions, while offering practical convenience for busy lives.
