Beverly Lemmons

Meet Beverly.

Hi, I’m Beverly Lemmons, LCSW. I am passionate about helping women, teens, couples, and families strengthen emotional resilience and build secure, lasting relationships. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where healing, clarity, and meaningful connection can grow.

Clients often describe my presence as warm and grounding. I strive to offer a steady, supportive environment where you feel understood and gently guided toward sustainable change.

Individual Therapy – Thrive Counseling (Insurance-Based)

Through Thrive Counseling for Healing & Connection, I provide insurance-based individual therapy for adult women and teens navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and emotional regulation challenges.

My work is trauma-informed and client-centered, integrating:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Motivational Interviewing

• Solution-Focused Therapy

I provide stage one trauma care focused on safety, stabilization, and nervous system regulation. When clinically appropriate and aligned with readiness, I offer stage two trauma processing, including EMDR, paced thoughtfully and collaboratively.

My focus is helping clients build confidence, emotional safety, and healthier relationship patterns.

Couples & Family Therapy – We Thrive Together (Private Pay / OON)

Through We Thrive Together, our private-pay and out-of-network relational practice, I provide therapy for couples and families.

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). Using attachment-based approaches, I help partners and families understand their negative interaction cycles, reduce reactivity, and strengthen emotional bonds.

Whether working with couples navigating conflict or families seeking stronger connection, my goal is to foster emotional safety, improve communication, and support secure, responsive relationships at home.

My Background

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Arizona State University, a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Louisville, and a second Master’s degree in Educational Leadership, Policy, and Planning from the College of William & Mary.

My experience includes psychiatric admissions, outpatient therapy, and school social work, providing a comprehensive understanding of emotional and behavioral challenges across developmental stages. In addition to clinical work, I serve as a Behavioral Health Professor, mentoring future social workers to practice with compassion, integrity, and clinical excellence.

Connect with Me

I offer in-person therapy in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and telehealth counseling across Virginia. My work focuses on helping individuals, couples, and families rebuild trust, deepen attachment, and move toward greater emotional stability and connection.
