About Beverly
Beverly Rivard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah and Alaska with 22 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, life changes, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting struggles, career questions, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Beverly uses a strengths-focused approach influenced by positive psychology. She combines mindfulness practices and qigong to offer practical ways to reduce stress and improve mood. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels doable in everyday life.
She also works with issues around gender identity and LGBT concerns, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, and aging or caregiver stress. Beverly pays attention to cultural and lifestyle differences and supports people who have experienced harm related to race, gender, beliefs, or neurodivergence.
Her tools include client-centered listening, existential reflection on meaning and choices, hypnotherapy techniques, solution-focused steps, and mindfulness exercises. These are used to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes, like better sleep routines, clearer communication, or more effective stress management.
Beverly currently lives in the desert southwest and accepts both U.S. and international clients. She brings a personal practice of mindfulness and qigong to her work and often suggests small daily practices clients can try between sessions.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs. Online sessions using this approach often emphasize practical problem solving, clearer communication, and steps clients can try between meetings.Existential therapy looks at meaning, values, and life choices. In virtual sessions this can help when people feel stuck by life changes, midlife questions, career crossroads, or a sense of purposelessness. Conversations are used to clarify priorities and identify small, concrete actions.
Mindfulness therapy brings short exercises and attention training into sessions. Beverly pairs mindfulness and qigong practices with homework so clients can practice stress reduction and sleep routines between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beverly will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit day-to-day life and adjusts the plan as needs change.
