About Beverly
Beverly Hodsden is a licensed professional counselor with 38 years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, depression, and anxiety. She practices from a person-centered stance and keeps sessions focused on the concerns each person brings. The first paragraphs here serve as the quick overview for readers on mobile.
Beverly uses clear, direct conversation to help clients understand what triggers their reactions. She guides people to notice patterns in thinking and behavior and to test small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Practical skills are mixed with time to process feelings so progress feels steady and doable. Her experience includes work with addiction, trauma and recovery from difficult relationship experiences. She also helps people grappling with sleep problems, grief, work stress, and identity questions.
That background informs how she tailors each meeting to what matters right now. Clients can expect a calm, respectful tone and straightforward tools they can try between sessions. Beverly helps people build better communication, manage intense emotions, and set goals that fit their life.
She pays attention to culture and context when those issues matter. Over the years she has combined client-centered methods with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational techniques. Beverly aims to create a space where people feel heard and leave with concrete next steps toward change.

Practical approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It emphasizes empathy and respect so clients can explore feelings, build self-understanding, and decide their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking, and manage strong emotions like anger. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses questions and reflections to strengthen motivation for steps such as reducing substance use or sticking with new habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Beverly will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process helps people see which tools feel useful and realistic.
Online sessions can be held by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and hands-on skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when travel or work gets in the way.
