Johanna Krauter
LPC, NCC
About Johanna (she/her)
I am a licensed professional counselor who believes that every client is unique and strives to create a working atmosphere of collaboration, problem-solving, and acceptance. Before joining Magnolia Counseling of Pearland, I was working as a therapist at a behavioral hospital in the Houston area, specifically with children and adolescents. As such, I have a strong handle on collaborative treatment with medication management and can appreciate the decision on whether or not to involve medication. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solutions Focused Therapy to help those who come from a wide variety of backgrounds make the changes they need.
I have been married since April of 2020 (a Zoom ceremony, no less!), and my partner and I have two dogs and a cat, all rescues. We enjoy a variety of fun activities from skiing and hiking, to movie nights and video games.

Bianca Cotton
LPC
About Bianca
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years of experience in both Community Mental Health and Private Practice Therapy settings. Prior to joining Magnolia Counseling of Pearland, I was the Director of Therapy at a Child Advocacy Center where I specialized in counseling children, adolescents, and caregivers who have encountered various forms of trauma and abuse. My goal is to provide a safe and mindful environment in order to provide the highest quality care for my clients. I believe in an informed, integrative approach to therapy that incorporates various techniques and methods tailored to the unique treatment needs of each individual and family. My view is that only the client is an expert on their own life or their own family, and the client is an equal partner in the therapeutic relationship.
In addition to trauma work, I also have experience working with a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, LGTBQ+ identity, and relationship issues. In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, spending time with my family and dogs, and watching football!
