About Beverly
Beverly Hodsden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 38 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship problems, and anger. Beverly also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and life transitions.
Her approach centers on practical, person-focused care. Sessions look at what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She uses straightforward conversation to map triggers, coping patterns, and everyday responses to stress and anger. The work often includes noticing how thoughts and actions connect, then testing small changes to see what helps.
Beverly uses several therapeutic methods to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the persons experience central while building a working relationship. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change.
For trauma and addiction concerns she draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to stabilise immediate problems and set short-term goals. Sessions aim to produce practical tools for managing anger, cravings, panic, or low mood. Beverly also addresses attachment patterns and communication problems that often underlie repeated conflict.
She speaks English and practices in New Jersey. People who want to try therapy with her begin by completing an initial matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the persons experience and on building a working relationship. Online sessions let the therapist listen to what matters most and reflect back practical steps a person can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by spotting patterns of thought and behavior and testing small experiments. In online work this often looks like setting brief homework tasks and reviewing results together. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change; it emphasizes the persons own reasons and readiness and is straightforward to use in remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, current struggles with anger or stress, and preferences. Together they decide which method or combination makes the most sense and adjust that plan over time as needed.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm which session formats are offered before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to keep a consistent schedule while trying new coping strategies in everyday settings.
