Our counselors provide therapy in Little Elm, TX

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of experience supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and other life stressors. I believe people heal best when they feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach focuses on helping clients rediscover their inner strength, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change through a compassionate and empowering therapeutic relationship.

I earned a Master’s in Social Work from Saint Louis University, and I am licensed to practice in Texas, Missouri, and Illinois. I use a strengths-based approach and motivational interviewing to help clients identify their stage of change and build lifelong coping skills, especially when supporting perinatal clients on their postpartum journey.

I aim to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, gain insight, and grow in self-understanding. My goal is to guide individuals toward transformation and renewed perspective so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

Bianca Milliern is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience helping individuals and families struggling with family conflict, divorce, coping skills, mental stress, behavioral issues, life transitions, depression, and anxiety. She pursued her passion for psychology and the study of the human condition after emigrating to the US from South Africa. Bianca’s ideal client wants to begin a healing journey and values a collaborative and mutually respectful therapeutic alliance. While many who enter the therapy room are suffering, there are many good reasons to embark on a wellness journey at any age and stage of life.

Bianca has a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University. She practices dynamic psychotherapy and meets clients where they are at the time of each session. Bianca blends here-and-now solutions with a carefully guided understanding of the original experiences, memories, and events that gave birth to maladaptive defenses.

If the therapist and client are two travelers on a boat, the therapist has the map and the light, and the client steers. They can only be successful by working together! If you are ready to get started on your journey, Bianca encourages you to reach out to her today.
