Beverly Rivard

Beverly Rivard is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma, and career or life transitions. She works with issues around sleeping, depression, compassion fatigue, and LGBT concerns. Beverly combines practical skills with steady support in sessions. She favors a strengths-based, client-centered approach that builds what is already working while addressing urgent problems. Mindfulness practices and qigong are part of her routine to help people manage stress and steady their emotions. She also brings elements of existential and solution-focused work to clarify values and set achievable goals. Her background includes social work and counseling roles plus life coaching and energy healing over two decades. Beverly holds LCSW credentials in Utah and Alaska and has worked with both U.S. and international clients. She says cultural differences, gender, religion, race, lifestyle, and neurodiversity are respected in her practice. In a typical session she listens first, then offers concrete strategies tailored to the person’s needs. That might include short mindfulness exercises, movement practices like qigong, brief goal-setting, or reflective conversation about life purpose. She aims for clear steps that people can try between sessions. Outside of clinical work she writes and makes art with yarn, beads, and clay, and keeps a personal meditation and qigong practice. Beverly describes herself as deeply spiritual and looks forward to supporting clients who want to build greater wellbeing and resilience.

How mindful and client-centered work translates online

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple awareness exercises to help people notice stress responses and calm their nervous system. In practice this often means short breathing or grounding exercises and learning how to bring attention back to the present when worry or overwhelm rises. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what someone says so they can discover their own answers and priorities. This approach helps when people want a supportive space to sort out decisions, values, or relationship questions. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and life purpose, and can be useful during midlife shifts, big transitions, or when someone feels stuck about what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beverly collaborates with each person to decide which mix of techniques fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She will try practical exercises, talk through values and choices, and adapt the pace so people feel comfortable experimenting with new ways of coping.
