About Bonnie
Bonnie Lilly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and big life changes. Her work focuses on building coping skills and stronger self-understanding.
She keeps sessions warm and straightforward. Bonnie creates a calm, non-judgmental space and listens carefully to what each person brings. She helps people spot patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice skills between sessions.
Background and approach
Bonnie uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and move toward them with small, manageable steps.
Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas guide her when relationships and trust feel central to the struggle. Those approaches help people understand how past relationships affect current patterns and improve communication. Bonnie blends these methods so therapy fits the individual, not the other way around.
Her background includes work with grief, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, codependency, addiction concerns, and issues around commitment and control. Sessions aim to increase practical skills and reduce overwhelming feelings. The goal is clearer choices and steadier functioning in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Bonnie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching specific skills to test and shift thinking patterns.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values. ACT supports coping with difficult feelings without getting stuck trying to avoid them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bonnie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. She adjusts methods as progress and challenges become clearer, keeping the process collaborative.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging help people fit therapy into a busy day and provide frequent, brief support between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity and practice new skills in real time.
