Beverly Rivard is a counselor, social worker, life coach and energy healing practitioner with 22 years of clinical experience. She holds licenses to practice social work in both Utah and Alaska and brings a long history of professional care to her clients.
Her work is grounded in positive psychology, with an emphasis on building strengths as well as addressing problems. Beverly weaves mindfulness and qigong into her practice to help people reduce stress and support healthier, more satisfying lives.
She accepts both U.S. and international clients and honors differences in culture, gender, religion, race, lifestyle and belief. Beverly especially welcomes clients seeking to recover from pain related to race, gender, beliefs or a neurodivergent way of thinking.
Outside of her professional work she enjoys traveling, writing and hands-on creative activities such as drawing, fiber and beadwork, and working with clay. She maintains a personal practice of mindfulness meditation and qigong and identifies as deeply spiritual.
Beverly looks forward to meeting clients and supporting them in becoming happier and healthier.
Many people ask whether working with a therapist online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical, evidence-informed route for many people seeking support.
