Therapist

I am a licensed therapist with 27 years of experience, and I have learned through my work — and my life — that healing is always possible. If you are living with depression or anxiety, you may have spent years managing, pushing through, or simply surviving. There is another way.

I am deeply drawn to working with adults at midlife and beyond — women and men navigating life transitions, grief and loss, caregiver burnout, empty nest, and the complicated emotions that come with this rich and often underestimated stage of life. We carry so much in these years — love, wisdom, loss, regret, fear and hope — and all of it deserves space to be seen and integrated.

Clients often tell me they feel both deeply understood and gently challenged. I bring genuine warmth and compassion, but I am also direct and perceptive. I see what is underneath the words — the unspoken emotions and patterns that quietly shape our lives. Together we work to bring those hidden parts to light, where they can transform into sources of strength and clarity.

Giannine Lioi

Giannine Lioi

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in helping adults break free from long-standing emotional and relational patterns that keep them stuck in anxiety, disconnection, or self-doubt. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens not just through insight, but through learning how to feel safe, regulated, and connected both within yourself and in relationship with others.

I earned My Master’s degree in Social Work and is clinically trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS – Level 1), EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic-Based Practices, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, Psychedelics Integration, and Narrative Therapy. I integrate trauma-informed, nervous-system-focused approaches to help clients move beyond coping and into meaningful, embodied change. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and direct, supporting clients in developing self-trust while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked extensively in the health and wellness field, including roles in movement, bodywork, and mind-body practices. This background strongly informs my holistic approach to therapy and understanding of how emotional experiences are stored and expressed in the body. I pay close attention to how stress, trauma, and attachment wounds show up not just in thoughts, but in physical sensations, behaviors, and relationship dynamics.

In therapy, I help clients build emotional resilience, strengthen communication skills, and develop the capacity to stay grounded during uncomfortable or vulnerable moments. My goal is not to “fix” clients, but to help them understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and create relationships and lives that feel aligned, fulfilling, and sustainable.

I’m a therapist with more than 10 years experience in the field, in a wide variety of different settings. I prefer to utilize a Person-Centered, Solution-Focused perspective in providing treatment, and I'm highly practiced in a variety of CBT-based techniques. I'm happy to speak at length with patients about childhood traumas, their subconscious needs, and the impact of family upbringing on their adult lives- but that doesn't have to be therapy!

Abimelec Torres Serrano

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I’m a bilingual psychotherapist (English/Español) with extensive experience supporting individuals living with bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and am credentialed as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Maryland and in Florida. In addition to my private practice, I work full-time as a Psychiatric Therapist at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where I’ve spent years helping people manage mood disorders and find greater stability.

Living with bipolar disorder can feel like riding an unpredictable roller-coaster. Many of the clients I work with want to better understand their symptoms, spot early warning signs, and create daily routines that steady the mind and body. Others are navigating depression, anxiety, or the toll that mood changes can take on careers, caregiving roles, and relationships. If you’re ready to turn insight into action, sleep better, fuel your body, and nurture healthier connections, I’m here to guide you.

Happy patient looking away

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 Therapist in Baltimore

Finding the right therapist in Baltimore starts with identifying what kind of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something more specific like ADHD or trauma, a licensed provider with experience in that area can make a meaningful difference. Baltimore is home to a wide range of mental health professionals, including licensed clinical social workers (LCSW-C), licensed professional counselors (LCPC), psychologists, and psychiatrists.

Once you have a sense of what you're looking for, consider the practical details: Do you prefer in-person sessions in a neighborhood like Hampden, Federal Hill, or Canton, or would virtual appointments work better for your schedule? Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and approach before you commit to a session.

Therapy in Baltimore can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
