About Bonnie
Bonnie Chase is a licensed mental health counselor in Vermont with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, mood concerns like bipolar and depression, and struggles with anxiety and stress. Bonnie emphasizes a straightforward, supportive approach that helps people feel heard right away.
She sets out to make the therapy space feel open and nonjudgmental. Conversations are practical and rooted in real life.
Background and approach
Bonnie listens first, then helps clients identify small, clear steps to try between sessions. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting concerns, and career or life transitions. She helps people build confidence and cope with compassion fatigue and anger.
Sessions aim to be useful from the start and focused on what matters most to each person. Bonnie uses proven therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns. She explains options in plain language and involves clients in choosing what to try.
The goal is steady progress and better day-to-day functioning. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on available times. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and subscriptions may be canceled at any time.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Bonnie commonly draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and behavior changes. One approach emphasizes coping skills and relapse prevention for addictions, teaching concrete strategies to manage triggers and cravings and to build safer routines. Another approach targets mood and anxiety by helping people identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes to improve sleep, energy, and mood.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Bonnie talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, and then recommends approaches to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what is not.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting routines and to keep momentum between visits. The different formats also allow clients to pick what feels most useful for talking things through and practicing new skills.
