As a student of psychology and an observer of human nature, I know that our distress is not without meaning, not in vain, and that there is a path to transform our pain into healing.
I am a licensed graduate professional counselor (LGPC) with 6 years of experience supporting clients facing mood disorders, behavioral concerns, and family challenges. I provide individual and family therapy using evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I view therapy as a collaborative process designed to reduce distress, strengthen self-awareness, and improve overall quality of life.
I earned my master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from the College of William & Mary. I have received formal training in cognitive behavioral therapy and have applied this approach across diverse settings to help clients build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and develop effective coping skills.
I offer a flexible schedule and respect the time and effort you invest in your growth. Even little progress can create meaningful change. Together, we will focus on practical strategies that empower you to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely seen, so I bring warmth, honesty, and real-world compassion into the room while helping clients navigate anxiety, relationships, selfworth, and life transitions.
Hi, I'm Bianca Johnson, LCPC, a licensed therapist with experience supporting individuals, couples, and adolescents through anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I work with clients who are often seeking deeper self-understanding, healthier coping skills, stronger communication, and more balance in their daily lives. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping clients feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.
I use a collaborative, compassionate approach that blends CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and practical coping strategies to help clients build self-awareness, improve communication, manage emotions, and navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. Clients can expect a supportive space that encourages growth, accountability, and lasting change.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate things alone. I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow at their own pace. If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

As a Black woman, I understand how systems impact and limit marginalized groups. My commitment to wellness has a profound impression on how I empower others to balance their emotions, critical thinking, spirituality and authenticity.
My career path began in the retail/wholesale industry, which created a path for me in therapy. I’ve worked in roles in ministry, education, and leadership, and have immersed myself in critical race theory, history, and the Black experience. I’ve worked with a wide range of clients of different races, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Much of my confidence in working with people from all walks of life was inspired by my upbringing. I grew up a military brat, which made me more social and adaptable. I understand trauma does not escape the human experience, but effort and will are the ingredients for healing and transformation.
My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy and CBT, though I have grown into a more eclectic practice that allows for broader interventions and coping strategies. More recently, I have integrated internal family systems (IFS), somatic experiencing, and EMDR techniques to best meet each client where they are.
If you have found yourself on this page, I hope you will act with the same courage that brought you here. In that act of bravery, you have the opportunity to experience all that possibility can give to you. Our journey in therapy will not be easy, but it is an alliance that is unforgettable and rewarding.

Career counseling, sometimes called career coaching, helps individuals make informed career decisions. This type of counseling is led by one of our Baltimore therapists who is trained to provide career development support.
Career counseling works to help you navigate your professional career and offer valuable information, such as required skill sets and/or education, regarding a particular position you may be considering. The following are common focuses of conversation that will help your career counselor best help you:
Career counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Career counseling can last for weeks, months, or even years. It all depends on the goals that you’re looking to accomplish and whether you continue to want/need a counselor to help you reach your goals. Either way, our career counselors are here and ready to help you get on the right track.
In a perfect world, we would intuitively know what career was right for us. All we would have to do then would be to pursue it. But we don’t live in a perfect, and quite often choosing a career or changing one’s profession is anything but simple. For some it is tough, for others it’s daunting to the point of impossible. Nothing is impossible of course, but it can feel like that at times for those who have lost their way. This is where career counseling can really be of help.
The good news is that there are many vocational counseling services around these days, such as career counseling at Thriveworks Baltimore, MD. All these services are there to help folks take charge of their lives and make better decisions about their career path.
Three of the main psychological challenges people face include:
Any of these things can toss up a roadblock and stall a person’s progress. Sometimes they may not know why they’re having problems with choosing a career or securing a job. All they know is that they’re finding the task unpleasant, daunting and stressful.
The more people run problems over in their own heads, the worse a situation can become. The only way to take positive action is when there’s a positive outlook. Sinking deeper into the problem will never find anyone the solutions they’re looking for. This is why it can be so good to talk to someone else, especially someone qualified to help.
Career counseling offers a place to explore the various factors that contribute to career choices. The first thing a good counselor will do is discuss the individual’s attributes:
Once the above areas are covered, the foundation is set to move on and build a specific plan of action. Call Baltimore career counseling today and set up an appointment. One of our trained career counselors can go over your occupational options with you in great detail. We offer evening and weekend sessions and accept most major insurances.
