About Beverly
Beverly Crippen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. She holds LCSW credentials in California and Utah and has worked across clinical settings from adoption and foster care to outpatient mental health and private practice.
Beverly helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. She also supports those who carry feelings from past trauma, abandonment, or emotional abuse. Guilt and shame are listed among the personal concerns she addresses in sessions.
Her main approach is Client-Centered Therapy, which means she looks to the person in front of her as the source of insight and solutions. She pairs that perspective with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, plus mindfulness, stress management, and inner child work when helpful.
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as on understanding how old patterns still influence feelings and choices today. Beverly uses proven exercises from CBT to test unhelpful thoughts and to build new coping habits. She also offers mindfulness and breathing tools to reduce immediate stress and reactivity.
People who seek her out are often looking to repair relationships, grow self-esteem, handle life transitions, or work through family and faith-related guilt. Beverly prefers to shape the work around each person’s goals, moving at a pace they agree on.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person find their own answers. Online sessions using this approach still center the client's goals, feelings, and choices while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short exercises to test beliefs and change patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and worry about relationships or parenting.Beverly treats choice of approach as a conversation. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with listening and gentle exploration, then adding CBT tools and mindfulness practices if that seems helpful. The plan can change as the work progresses, based on what the person finds useful.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit more easily into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to use tools like breathing exercises or worksheets during a meeting. Talk with her during the matching process to learn which session arrangements are offered and which will best fit daily life.
