About Bianca

Bianca Guevara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Bianca also addresses relationship and family concerns and helps people dealing with sleep problems and bipolar-related challenges.

She starts by listening to each person’s account of their life. Bianca treats people as the experts on their own story and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, practical steps that can be used between meetings.

Her approach draws on several therapies, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. She uses ideas from dialectical behavior therapy and Jungian therapy when they fit a person’s needs. In practice this means combining talk, skill-building, and attention to recurring patterns from childhood and family of origin issues.

Typical sessions include talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and practicing new ways of responding to stress. For someone coping with grief or relationship strain, she breaks larger problems into manageable tasks. For ongoing mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, sessions emphasize coping strategies and routines that support day-to-day functioning.

Bianca sees clients in New York and works with people who identify as LGBT. Sessions are conducted in English. She accepts international clients; confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches used in remote sessions

Bianca commonly uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s experience and strengths. This approach means the therapist listens carefully and helps clients clarify their goals and choices. It is useful for people facing life changes, relationship concerns, and those who want to build on their existing coping skills.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing alternative responses. This approach can help with anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and managing mood swings associated with bipolar disorder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bianca will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting focus over time.

The original profile does not list specific online formats. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know whether sessions are offered by video, phone, or another format. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time, which can help keep therapy consistent with other commitments.
