Hi there, I'm Bianca! My name is Bianca Richardson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) serving clients in Washington, DC via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Social Work from The Catholic University of America. I work with adolescents and young adults specializing in anxiety and stress. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients make progress toward their goals. My approach For therapy, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I help clients acknowledge their thoughts and feelings to achieve their desired changes. My focus I work primarily with adolescents and young adults who may be adjusting to new life changes and social pressures. Clients often experience anxiety, stress, and depression. I help them develop coping skills and shift negative thought patterns. My communication style My communication style is client-led. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives, and I pride myself on ensuring they feel empowered. I listen without judgment and create a space where clients feel comfortable discussing any topic. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through difficult times. I am a natural listener whom individuals gravitate toward when facing challenges. I enjoy witnessing personal growth and seeing clients become better versions of themselves. My goals for you I approach goal setting by allowing clients to share what they wish to accomplish within a specific timeframe. Sessions begin by building trust and helping clients get comfortable with what therapy means. Over time, we work together to set goals and track progress. My first session with you During the first sessions, clients can expect to start building a connection and discuss what brings them to therapy. I will ask questions to better understand your current challenges.
