About
Trust is important in building a relationship and the relationship you have with a therapist should include a genuine and positive regard for the client. Clients have to trust you before they can begin sharing their innermost struggles with a therapist.
Carol Jones-Pinckney is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Board Approved Supervisor in the state of Maryland. She has over 20 years of experience in the human services field working with various nonprofits but for the last 8 years provided therapy for children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples.
Carol applies a nonjudgmental, caring, strength-based, and integrative approach to therapy. Individualized assessments and treatment plans are key to achieving client goals. Carol maintains that collaboration, trust, and building a partnership are key ingredients to navigate through life’s struggles presented in therapy. Success is measured by how the client’s perception of the therapeutic process and engagement in sessions that work to achieve healthy and successful outcomes.
Therapeutic modalities utilized in therapy include but are not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, person-centered, couples therapy, and integrative interventions. The goal is to provide a caring and supportive environment for clients to feel comfortable sharing.
Carol recognizes that clients often feel vulnerable and reluctant to begin counseling. Her approach is very warm and inviting acknowledging that this was a big step but the right decision to share emotions and feelings with someone new. Therapy is at the client’s pace and being mindful of the support each client needs.

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 someone who has struggled with mental illness as a woman of color, I have an understanding of the uncertainty, the doubt, the challenges, and the wins.
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LPC) with 3 years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I am passionate about meeting clients where they are and providing a supportive space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can occur. My goal is to help individuals break unhealthy patterns, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
I earned my master's degree in mental health counseling from Walden University. My approach focuses on developing practical tools and coping skills to improve well-being. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based practices, tailoring treatment to each client’s needs and experiences.
I strive to create a comfortable and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself, gain insight, and develop compassion for your journey. Together, we will work toward meaningful change while building the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges. If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and growth, I look forward to supporting 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.

Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
