01About Beverly
Beverly Hodsden brings 38 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and listens first. Her style is steady and practical, aimed at helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and major life changes.
She uses straightforward methods to help people build coping skills and make real changes. Beverly often draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
Background and approach
She pairs that with cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people find reasons to change. That approach is useful with addictions, ambivalence, or when someone is unsure how to move forward.
Solution-focused techniques keep work practical and goal-oriented so progress is visible between sessions. Many clients come for help with relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, parenting stress, or career crossroads. Beverly also supports people facing mood disorders, panic attacks, ADHD-related struggles, and issues around body image or codependency.
She attends to cultural and multicultural concerns as part of treatment planning. Sessions emphasize clear steps you can try between appointments. Beverly aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space where people can test new ways of handling conflict, guilt, shame, or stress.
Her work is collaborative, focused on short- and longer-term goals that fit each person’s life.

Using Practical Therapy Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following your lead. The therapist creates space to talk through what matters most and helps you set goals at your own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels hard or you feel stuck by exploring your reasons for change and building motivation together.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Beverly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as you go.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you see each other and use visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit brief updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days while using the approaches described above.
