About Beverly

Beverly Wilkerson is a licensed social worker with 32 years of clinical experience and a long history of supporting people through depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on a strengths-based outlook, affirming that clients are the experts on their own stories while providing structure and tools to address self-esteem, motivation, anger, and intimacy-related issues. Her practice also attends to career and parenting challenges as well as life transitions such as caregiving, aging-related stress, and end-of-life concerns.

Her therapeutic work blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with an empathetic, client-centered stance. Beverly often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop alternative coping skills, and she incorporates mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness and emotional regulation.

Based in Michigan and practicing in English, she offers multiple remote session options to fit different needs and schedules. Prospective clients are invited to take the first step by completing a brief questionnaire and scheduling a session when a fit is identified.

Approaches for Online Care and Practical Skills

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a collaborative relationship where the client guides the pace and goals; this approach helps when people need empathetic support and validation while working through life transitions or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying patterns of thinking that contribute to distress and learning concrete skills to change reactions and behaviors, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation difficulties.

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, supporting work on grief, trauma symptoms, and ongoing stressors.

Finding the right blend of methods is a collaborative process. Beverly will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting techniques over time so the approach matches individual needs and progress.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility to meet from home or another convenient location using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support without travel while preserving regular contact and skill practice between meetings.
