Beverly Pautz , LCSW

Beverly Pautz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin, a credential that reflects advanced training and clinical licensure in social work. With 22 years of professional experience, she has worked across settings that include employee assistance programs, outpatient counseling, and sexual abuse treatment.

Her practice centers on an empathetic, warm, and interactive counseling style that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. Beverly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, depression, life transitions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include caregiver stress, social anxiety and phobia, and workplace issues.

Taking the first step toward change often takes courage, and Beverly aims to empower and support clients through that process. She is currently not accepting clients, and she does not work with international clients, but her background and approach reflect a longstanding commitment to helping people find practical, respectful paths forward.

CBT and Solution-Focused Methods for Online Care

In her work Beverly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. CBT is often applied to issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving in daily life.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which emphasizes clear goals, existing strengths, and small practical steps to create meaningful change. This method can be especially helpful for people seeking targeted improvements in relationships, coping with life transitions, or managing specific challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Beverly works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors conversations and plans to each individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from home, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are difficult, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue practical, goal-oriented progress.
