About Beverly
Beverly Crippen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with three decades of professional experience. She has practiced in settings that include adoption and foster care services, addiction recovery programs, outpatient mental health facilities, faith-based family clinics, and independent practice.
Background and approach
Beverly holds licenses in California and Utah and draws on long-term clinical work to support people facing a range of life challenges. Her clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and issues of self-esteem.
Beverly also addresses related topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, money and financial concerns, self-love, and social phobia.
She uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes respect, encouragement, and the client’s own resources, complemented by techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and other interventions as appropriate. Therapeutic work is tailored to each person’s needs, drawing on mindfulness, stress management, inner child work, and positive psychology when helpful.
Beverly frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at greater wellbeing and life satisfaction for those ready to engage in change.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy places the person’s experience at the center of the work, offering a respectful, empathic environment where clients explore their values, strengths, and goals. This approach supports those seeking understanding, encouragement, and a collaborative space to find their own solutions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, using structured techniques to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood-related concerns. CBT offers practical tools that can be practiced between sessions to build coping skills and resilience.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support and to deliver CBT-informed exercises, reflective conversation, and skill-building in ways that accommodate different lifestyles and access needs.
