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.

Infidelity counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed for couples grappling with the aftermath of one or more partner’s infidelity. It offers a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can delve into the underlying reasons behind the breach of trust, openly express their feelings, and collaboratively strive to mend their relationship. The overarching objective of infidelity counseling is to either facilitate a path to reconciliation, should both partners desire it, or guide them through the process of separation or divorce with clarity and empathy.
Infidelity counseling combines various therapeutic techniques, such as individual and couples therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches for changing destructive thought patterns, communication skills training for conflict resolution, Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust, narrative therapy to reframe relationship narratives, and mindfulness practices for managing intense emotions. These methods work together to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and the reconstruction of trust, leading to a healthier, more resilient relationship.
Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Columbia, MD is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions needed for infidelity counseling can greatly vary based on the specific needs of the individuals or couples involved and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Thriveworks infidelity counseling in Columbia, MD typically includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months, with the exact number of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist while considering the progress made during therapy and the therapeutic goals.
Instead of marriages and relationships breaking up, it’s becoming more common for affected couples to try counseling for adultery or infidelity instead. If a couple loves each other and thinks that it’s worthwhile to fight for their relationship, especially if there are children involved, then trying to understand the cause of the problems that led to the infidelity through professional counseling is often the best way to go.
There are two sides to every story. At Thriveworks Columbia, our therapists work to bring the two sides to the table and work out an effective solution. They see both sides equally and want to help resolve the issues at hand in order to restore a happy and healthy marriage. Reach out today to get started.
There are many base issues that can lead to a partner in a relationship making the decision to cheat and be unfaithful. It is not normally one action that leads to infidelity but a snowball effect of events and/or feelings. That said, the vast majority of these issues are rooted in one real cause—unhappiness. The unfaithful partner for the most part will not choose infidelity and all the problems that it brings if they are completely happy in their relationship. Typical causes for unhappiness can be:
Any of the above causes can plant a seed in a relationship that can lead to unfaithfulness that may require counseling for infidelity.
Those who attend counseling for infidelity know that the damage done from adultery is vast. For most people, finding out that their partner has been unfaithful to them is the biggest betrayal that they will experience, causing the following effects:
These effects can cause true hatred that will damage both parties and the families of both parties and can lead to destructive home breakups and separations.
For couples affected by infidelity, it can seem that the world has come to an end. But that needn’t be the case and it’s possible, with professional help, to put infidelity in the past and rebuild relationships. The two tasks of a marriage/relationship counselor working with infidelity are:
Through both individual and couple’s counseling, the professional can bring the damaged relationship into the sunlight and work to make it complete again. It can take time and it can be tough, but if both parties in a relationship want it enough, counseling for infidelity can definitely work. If you are thinking that counseling for adultery or infidelity could be beneficial for your relationship, please contact us for more info and we will be happy to help.
If you feel like infidelity has ruined your marriage and you could benefit from discussing ways to tackle life’s obstacles and regain trust, schedule an appointment at Thriveworks Columbia today. Infidelity therapy could be the helping hand your relationship needs to move forward and work on rebuilding your marriage.
