Bianca Gist

Bianca Gist

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


I did not stumble into this work — I chose it, and I choose it every day. I am Bianca Gist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and Indiana.

I am also a former collegiate athlete, and that background shapes how I show up — I know what it feels like to carry a lot and still need someone genuinely in your corner. My experience is rooted in the spaces where people need the most and are often given the least — Chicago Public Schools, foster care, home-based services, and community mental health. Through my private practice, Her Sole Purpose LLC, I work with children, adolescents, student-athletes, and families using CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care. I use what works for the person in front of me, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I work well with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the weight of environments that were not built for them. Therapy with me is honest, grounded, and focused on what actually helps you move forward — not just cope.

If any of this resonates, I would love to connect.

I am a lifelong learner who thrives on exploring new places and connecting with new people. When I'm not in the office, you'll usually find me outdoors enjoying quality time with my family and my dog.

The journey into and through adulthood is rarely a straight line. My education in psychology, education, and marriage and family therapy has deepened my holistic and relational perspective to working with clients. Today, my practice mainly focuses on helping adults navigate life transitions, manage anxiety, and establish healthy boundaries. I am dedicated to creating a warm, insightful space where you can untangle complex feelings and built a resilient foundation for the future.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Lafayette, IN

Searching for therapists in Lafayette starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist is trained for it. People may look for therapy in Lafayette for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes. As you compare Lafayette therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their approach.

In a smaller city like Lafayette, local office options may be more limited than in larger Indiana markets, especially if you want a specific specialty or appointment time. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Indiana. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near Lafayette or West Lafayette, virtual appointments that fit your schedule, or a therapist who offers a free phone consultation before you book. Reading bios can help you compare communication style, availability, and areas of focus before choosing a therapist.

Therapy in Lafayette can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person availability, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Lafayette, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
