About

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.

I understand that life can feel heavy, confusing, or isolating, and I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space to work through it.
Life can feel overwhelming, confusing, or isolating, and it’s normal to want guidance and support. I’m a relational clinical social worker who helps adults and young adults explore how relationships and life experiences shape emotions, behaviors, and patterns.
Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or difficult relationships. Others want to better understand themselves, improve communication, and develop healthier ways of coping.
In working together I provide a compassionate, collaborative space where you can feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll explore patterns in your relationships, uncover your strengths, and develop tools to help you manage challenges, build confidence, and create meaningful change.

As an African-American woman, I understand the unique challenges, and I believe healing happens through honest connection, so I offer a warm, grounded space where you can feel truly seen, supported, and empowered to grow at your own pace.
Hello, my name is Denise Mitchell, and I am a National Board Certified Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor licensed in Maryland and Virginia. I have over 20 years of experience in the school system and private therapy. I have experience providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Informed therapy with teens, adults, and couples. My goal as a therapist is to help everyone reach a place where they can be their best self. I look forward to supporting you in your journey.
My approach is collaborative, helping you build awareness and practical tools for daily life. I integrate evidence-based practices focused on communication and healthy boundaries to better understand yourself and your relationships. I specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, and patterns like people-pleasing and self-doubt.
You don't have to navigate everything on your own—whatever you're carrying, there is space for it here. When you're ready, I invite you to take that next step and begin your journey toward healing and growth.

Through personal and professional experience, I understand what it is to face hardship and the importance of identifying and building upon our unique strengths to grow and overcome challenges in life.
I am a licensed certified social worker-clinical (LCSW-C) with over six years of experience in behavioral health services, working with adults struggling with a wide range of mental health challenges. I specialize in working with clients who have complex needs and those within marginalized populations and communities, approaching each person through a humanistic lens. I recognize that each client's needs are unique, and my therapeutic style—grounded in empathy and unconditional positive regard—is not one-size-fits-all.
I am task-centered and solution-focused, drawing on other approaches interchangeably in order to address individuals. I am direct, and will identify and discuss a client's ambivalence or resistance, as needed, in order to help the client continue on their healing process through their individual treatment plan.
Asking for help is the first step, and that step alone shows real strength and the innate drive toward your desire for change and growth. From there, we work together—forming a therapeutic relationship, identifying goals, strengthening coping tools, building connections, and exploring new perspectives—to help you find your personal fulfillment.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.
In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches.

Life coaching with our therapists in Baltimore, MD is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Baltimore therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.
That our lives are filled with challenges is one of the common truths our modern world, and while there are private and governmental support services in place, often these services are insufficient or not right for what we need. The role of these facilities is to assist you in moving passed the stresses and struggles of daily life. Professional life coaching provides this too, but it supports you not only in overcoming life’s trials, but in surpassing your own expectations. This is the dedicated support provided by life coaching at Thriveworks Baltimore Counseling.
A life coach can help you to:
The dedicated support and committed time a professional life coach provides helps you to decide on and achieve your goals. Many people battle to remove the obstacles before them and to suppress self-doubt, both of which cause stress and unhappiness. Friends and family often offer counsel on what career paths you should choose or which partner you should have, but a professional life coach has so much more to offer.
A life coach assists you in exploring and assessing the multitude of detrimental and healthy choices presented to you, and gives you ardent care and support to help you make those important and difficult decisions. Call us if life coaching sounds right for you, or if you would like more information about it. Most clients can meet with a provider within the same week of reaching out. In addition, we offer evening and weekend sessions and accept most major insurances.
