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.

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
In the course of my personal dealings with patients and their family members as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I became sensitized by the isolation and stigma felt in society by those with mental health issues. I felt inclined to explore more and provide the needed help. Also, my exposure to family members and friends dealing with mental health issues has had a profound impact on my pursuit of more knowledge and awareness of mental health.

My go-to approach for grief & loss counseling is to apply person-centered therapy, as it provides the warm environment and support needed in such a difficult time. In addition, providing psychoeducation on the stages of grief is key so that the person can identify where they are and what they have felt or identify what is to come and how normal it is to feel all these things during this time.
There is no one method tool or approach to use with grief and loss counseling; however, if one is having issues with processing their emotions, some suggestions/techniques that can be taught are journaling or providing examples of closure/release activities to do on their own or with clinician. Practicing ways to ask for help or how to respond or talk to someone else that is struggling with grief can be taught as well, as sometimes people get stuck on what to say.
Progress in grief counseling can be determined by the improvement the client has made in functioning (if they were impacted in this way), if they feel more comfortable talking about the loss and aren't avoiding, or potentially if they are crying less. While crying less isn't a targeted goal for clinicians, for clients that may usually be the case, so they see this as progress most times.
Clients can implement (in addition to their therapy) any recommended activities provided by clinician, whether that is being around others, implementing self-care, taking a break, etc. If a processing activity was provided as a homework assignment, that can be completed or attempted as well.
There is no preparation needed for grief counseling; please just come and know that we are here for you!
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Owings Mills, MD have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Owings Mills, MD will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
