About Bonnie

Bonnie Christensen is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience helping people who feel worn out from carrying too much responsibility. She speaks plainly about the drain that comes from always being the dependable one. Bonnie meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to help them feel steadier and more like themselves again.

Bonnie often sees adults dealing with persistent worry, anxiety, and low motivation. She also supports people facing grief, major life changes, and difficult relationship patterns. Many who come to her are caring for others and feeling depleted or unsure of their own needs.

Her work brings together familiar approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness practices. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and attention to how patterns of thinking and behavior affect daily life. Bonnie aims to make sessions respectful and tailored to each person’s situation.

Conversations in therapy are meant to be straightforward and freeing. Clients are invited to name what feels heavy, try new ways of coping, and practice small changes that add up. Progress is paced to match what feels doable and safe for each person.

Bonnie practices in Florida as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She draws on both professional training and personal experience to guide people toward greater balance, clearer priorities, and renewed energy for the life they want to build.

How her approaches fit into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values, then taking steps that match what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, stuckness, and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and helps people reshape how they connect and relate. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a space where you can talk through feelings and find your own solutions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try concrete techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. That way, the work matches your needs and preferences rather than following a single script.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also gives flexibility for people who need to manage caregiving or work demands while keeping therapy consistent.
