About Beverly
Beverly Hodsden is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 38 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. Her practice also addresses relationship concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD.
Beverly uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She listens for what matters most and offers steps people can try between sessions. The work often includes looking at patterns in thinking, testing small behavior changes, and building day-to-day coping routines.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused and concrete. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods are used when people want help setting goals and staying motivated. Trauma-Focused approaches are brought in for people who need support after difficult events.

Beverly also addresses attachment issues, body image, communication problems, first responder stress, and multicultural concerns. She helps people sort priorities, manage symptoms, and plan practical next steps.
People work on skills such as anxiety management, sleep routines, relapse prevention strategies, and clearer communication. Beverly explains options, practices skills in session, and suggests short exercises for daily life. She aims for clear, usable techniques rather than abstract theory.
How Beverly integrates practical approaches in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses. It helps with anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, sleep problems and many forms of avoidance by breaking concerns into clear steps to practice between sessions.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's priorities and experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people decide what matters most so the work stays relevant to their life. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help resolving mixed feelings about change; it focuses on building motivation and concrete next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Beverly will talk with the person about goals, needs and preferences and then use one or a mix of methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when life is busy. Practical benefits include keeping continuity after moves, checking in between office visits, and making it simpler to practice skills in everyday settings.
