About
As one who has experienced personal loss, I have a genuine understanding of how life transitions can impact daily functioning and how addressing these transitions with loving kindness can transform us once again.
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.

In each of us there exists an instinctual desire to be whole, a pressing urge to make right that which sits uncomfortably in the psyche. It is here, on this footing, that I have the privilege to meet with you, with warmth, respect, and confidentiality.
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.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Little Elm therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in Little Elm, TX 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 for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.
