Beverly Knighten , LCSW

Beverly Knighten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Arkansas with 20 years of experience supporting people through life transitions and complex challenges. She brings an empathetic, interactive style to her work and blends evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, person-centered approach to tailor care to each individual's needs. Beverly has developed clinical skills addressing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and anger, as well as issues related to self-esteem, career, bipolar disorder, and coping with major life changes.

Her practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to create practical, goal-oriented plans. As an LCSW, Beverly combines clinical training and real-world experience to help clients clarify values, build coping skills, and take actionable steps toward improved functioning. She conducts work in English and emphasizes collaboration, respect, and a nonjudgmental stance while shaping treatment to fit each person’s priorities and preferences.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all program, Beverly focuses on listening carefully, identifying strengths, and partnering with clients to design interventions that feel meaningful and achievable.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping people explore their values and goals while the therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental support; it is often useful for relationship, self-esteem, and adjustment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a goal-oriented, conversational approach that strengthens motivation for change and can be helpful for addictions, ambivalence about change, and building commitment to new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Beverly works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so the plan stays aligned with what is most helpful for each person.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for those with busy schedules, mobility constraints, or geographic limitations. These formats make it possible to engage in regular sessions, access support between meetings, and continue care from places that work best for the client, while maintaining the therapeutic focus and professional guidance provided by licensed professionals.
