About Bonnie

Bonnie Spicer is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses clear, practical methods to help people facing stress and big life changes. She combines talk-based work with hands-on skills so clients can manage anxiety, depression, and issues with substance use and relationships. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at giving people tools they can use between sessions.

Bonnie draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's situation. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new actions.

Background and approach

She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values even when emotions are hard. With seven years of experience working in Tennessee, Bonnie addresses a wide set of concerns. These include stress, parenting challenges, coping with grief, intimacy-related difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She also supports people dealing with career questions, body image, chronic illness, and blended family stress. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Bonnie helps clients set small, measurable steps and practices to build confidence and reduce overwhelm.

She pays attention to attachment patterns and communication problems that come up in relationships. Bonnie offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She explains credentials as LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and works within Tennessee state guidelines.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Bonnie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings, clarify what matters most, and take small actions that reflect their values.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily challenges. From there they pick or blend methods that fit the situation, and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep up with skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not convenient.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
