Beverly Rivard

Beverly Rivard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She also supports concerns related to ADHD, sleep problems, relationship and family stress, compassion fatigue, and LGBT and gender dysphoria questions. Beverly welcomes people facing isolation, career strain, caregiver stress, and identity-related pain.

She works from a strengths-based, client-centered stance that focuses on what each person already brings to change. Sessions often blend mindfulness practices and practical exercises to lower stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Beverly also uses elements of solution-focused work to set achievable goals and hypnotherapy when appropriate for habits and relaxation.

Her background includes social work and counseling roles across more than two decades, and she holds active LCSW credentials in Utah and Alaska. She has experience supporting both U.S. and international clients and aims to respect differences in culture, gender, religion, race, lifestyle, and neurodiversity.

Beverly draws on personal practices such as mindfulness meditation and qigong, and she incorporates those tools into sessions when they fit a client's needs. She describes her style as warm, collaborative, and practical - focused on small changes that add up over time.

Outside of work she enjoys travel, writing, and hands-on creative hobbies like clay and beadwork. Prospective clients can expect a conversational approach that balances present-day coping skills with exploration of life meaning and purpose.
