LCSW, 5 years of experience
Welcome! Being vulnerable and open to change is not easy, but you are in the right place. I'm Bianca Jamerson (she/her/hers) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am licensed in California and Texas. As an LCSW, I am deeply attuned to how your role in your unique environment shapes your daily experience. With cultural humility, warmth, and a touch of humor, I offer a safe space where you can explore what brought you to therapy. Together, we’ll tap into your innate strengths to navigate challenges, get to the root of what’s holding you back, and help you reach your personal goals. I look forward to developing an authentic, collaborative relationship as we work toward meaningful, lasting growth in your life.
In our first session, I am looking to learn all about you! You can expect for me to ask questions about you, your personal history, and what has led you to seek therapeutic support at this time in your life. Then, together we will collaboratively design your goals based on what’s most important for you.
I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. As a provider, I prioritize building strong rapport and developing trust with all of my clients. I truly feel that once trust and rapport are established, therapeutic interventions are more sustainable! Therapy with me is a partnership: you bring your story and values, and I bring support, strategies, and encouragement to help spark meaningful, lasting change.
I deeply value working with transitional-aged youth (16–21) and adults (18–64). I’m dedicated to serving clients through diverse life experiences and backgrounds.
I have experience utilizing CBT with clients who are experiencing mild- severe anxiety. In my practice, I use CBT to provide clients with psycho-education about their anxiety and tools to help them cope with their anxiety. While working with clients, CBT is helpful to identify cognitive distortions and challenge them to ultimately improve mood. Additionally, I use CBT in my practice to support clients in identifying and challenging their negative core beliefs about themselves.
I have experience utilizing DBT with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and difficulty regulating emotions. In my practice, I teach clients various DBT tools to support them in coping with difficult emotions, accepting difficult feelings, and controlling impulses.
I incorporate mindfulness techniques to help clients increase awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment. By learning to observe experiences without judgment, clients can reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and develop a greater sense of calm and self-acceptance.
