More about Beverly

  • 22 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hello!

Welcome! I have been a counselor, social worker, life coach , and energy healing practitioner for more that 20 years. I am currently licensed in the states of Alaska and Utah.

I work from a positive psychology perspective because I have found that building upon strengths is just as important as solving problems. I incorporate mindfulness and qigong to help people manage stress and become happier and healthier.

I enjoy working with both U.S. and international clients. I honor differences in culture, gender, religion, race, lifestyles and beliefs. I welcome clients who want to recover from pain they experienced because of their race, gender, beliefs, or neuro-divergent way of thinking.

I am presently living in the desert southwest. I enjoy traveling, writing, and creating things with pen and paper, yarn, beads, and clay. I have personal practice of mindfulness meditation and qigong. I am a deeply spiritual person.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you become happier and healthier!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Beverly is an excellent listener. Sometimes I feel like my problems are very minor and that my successes are very small, but she's so encouraging about everything. She believes in changing your attitude, which honestly, over time, really works. I've really noticed a change in myself. I've noticed that in general, I feel more positively toward myself and my own feelings. I have more patience with my emotions. Thank you so much, Beverly!

I never wanted to get help because I find it very hard to open up. However, Beverly's kind and loving personality made it easier to open up to her. She is very patient and understanding. Instead of keeping my problems to myself, I find myself eager to discuss my problems with Beverly.

I find Beverly to be a very caring person and someone who is not afraid to tell me which areas I could improve on, but always in a respectful way. I highly recommend her!

I happened to find this website when I was very anxious and worried about my declining state of well being. Luckily, I was matched with Beverly Rivard and just after a few letters to each other I started to feel much better. Beverly understood right away the underlying issues I was having and her kind and gentle words of wisdom and support stayed in my mind that I continue to repeat to myself when I am starting to feel down. Her responses are prompt and very helpful. She addresses every single thing you write to her and responds with helpful tips to get you away from that dark place. I couldn't be happier with my match through BetterHelp. Thank you, Beverly!

Beverly was a great resource for me. She is very kind, patient and gentle in her approach. She gave me several tools to use on a daily basis to deal with my anxiety issues and this has been such a valuable resource.

Beverly is exceptionally adept at picking up on who I am as a person, and as a result is able to render assistance fairly quickly; which is something I needed personally to provide some hope that life wasn't really as confusing, and I wasn't nearly as powerless as I had believed. Identifying my primary obstacles to piece and hapiness and communicating to me that I did not have to wait passively for a better world to present itself to me, and instead have the power to make changes myself. While I have just begun working on the logistics to make those changes, it is already clear that the Beverly's counsel in the area may be one of her greatest strengths. I would highly reccomend Beverly as an on-line counselor, because not only does she possess the skills to provide quality services, but she is a very good communicator via written word.
