My name is Bianca Dutra and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years, including the past 4 years as a clinical social worker. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting adults facing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, and self-esteem challenges.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a therapeutic approach and consulting practice grounded in the belief that healing begins when we learn to see ourselves through a clearer, more empowered lens. As a Nigerian-American woman, my heritage deeply informs my understanding of identity, resilience, spirituality, and community. These values shape the way I hold space for clients and guide them toward alignment with their highest embodiment of self.
My professional background includes years of experience in community mental health, trauma-informed care, and culturally responsive practice. I have supported women, youth, and BIPOC communities through therapy, support groups, and mental health trainings. I am also influenced by Womanist Psychology, which honors the lived experiences, wisdom, and strength of Black women and communities.
My work integrates Western therapeutic approaches with cultural insight, African wisdom, and a holistic understanding of healing. I believe that our lenses or our “vue" are shaped by our stories, our lineage, and the environments that raised us. Through SelfVue, I help clients shift their perspective, reconnect with their inner strength, and cultivate a grounded sense of self-worth.
Whether through individual therapy, consultation, or organizational support, my goal is to create a warm, intuitive, and culturally attuned space where clients feel seen, affirmed, and supported in their journey toward self-actualization.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to consider working with me. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been in the Mental Health and Substance Use field for 21 years. I have extensive experience working with a wide range of issues. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, substance use, Men's issues, and relationship stress. I hope that we can connect and work towards removing your barriers and achieving your goals.
Choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to help my client feels empowered in an affirming environment to meet their needs and goals.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when life already feels heavy. Many clients come in feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, stuck in unhealthy patterns, struggling in relationships, or trying to manage everything on their own. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, process what’s going on, and feel genuinely supported without judgment.

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across mental health, child welfare, foster care, schools, community-based programs, and the juvenile court system, supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult moments.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the life you want to live? I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s complexities by finding clarity.

Together, we will uncover your strengths, examine problems, and take an evidenced based approach to self discovery.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and bereavement, trauma, chronic health challenges or disabilities, anger management, and cultural or ethnic identity concerns.

I bring a culturally responsive lens to therapy, recognizing how background, identity, and lived experience shape the way we cope and heal. Whether you're dealing with a recent loss, unresolved trauma, or ongoing life stressors, I’m here to help you move toward stability, clarity, and meaningful change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Rhode Island
Searching for therapists in Rhode Island starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Across the state, available care can vary between urban and more rural areas, and Rhode Island therapists may focus on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience align with your needs, whether that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or another therapy style.
Location and format can also shape your search. You may want in-person therapy in Rhode Island near Providence, Warwick, or Newport, or you may prefer virtual sessions that fit your schedule from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
The cost of therapy in Rhode Island can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm what coverage is available in Rhode Island before you book.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
