Beverly Rivard

Beverly Rivard is an LCSW with 22 years of experience and holds licenses as an LCSW in Utah and Alaska. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, career uncertainty, ADHD, parenting challenges, sleeping problems, depression, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, and gender identity concerns. Her style centers on building strengths rather than only fixing problems. She draws on client-centered and existential ideas to help people clarify values and make choices that fit their lives. Mindfulness practices and qigong are part of sessions when clients want tools for managing stress and grounding attention. Beverly also uses solution-focused techniques to identify practical next steps for change. Hypnotherapy is listed among her approaches and may be offered as an adjunct when appropriate. Sessions typically include conversational reflection, brief skills practice, and collaboratively set goals. She has worked with both U.S. and international clients and says she honors differences in culture, gender, religion, race, lifestyles, and beliefs. That includes supporting people who are navigating pain related to race, gender, or neurodivergence. She lives in the desert southwest and brings a long personal practice of mindfulness meditation and qigong to her work. Practical matters are handled simply. Costs vary by location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience so they feel heard and can identify their own next steps. It helps with feeling stuck, relationship problems, and decisions about work or life direction.

Existential therapy examines values, meaning, and choice. It supports people wrestling with life purpose, midlife questions, and transitions by helping them name what matters and make intentional decisions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety or stress. These practices can also support sleep and coping with grief or caregiver strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beverly will discuss options and help choose what fits best based on a person's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That process is collaborative and may combine conversational reflection, brief mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in that fits a lunch break or a phone meeting when bandwidth is limited. Many people find remote sessions let them keep consistent momentum between appointments and practice skills in their day-to-day routines.
