Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and focused on what will make daily life easier and more manageable. Bonnie uses a mix of methods to fit each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered work to keep the person’s priorities central.

She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and steps. People come to Bonnie for many reasons, including grief, trauma, mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder, parenting stress, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image, and identity concerns within LGBT communities. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. Bonnie aims to help people notice what is working, try small changes, and track progress over time.

She encourages courage and curiosity as part of moving forward.

How Bonnie’s Approaches Work Online

Bonnie uses client-centered work to keep each session focused on the person’s priorities and values. That approach means the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and helps clarify what matters most to the client.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and often focuses on small experiments and skills that can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and is decided together. Bonnie will talk about options, try methods that fit the client’s goals, and adjust over time based on what helps most. This shared decision-making lets the work stay practical and personalized.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflections or homework between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent progress without extra travel.
