About Bonnie

Bonnie Christensen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience helping people who feel worn out by responsibility and life changes. She listens without judgment and helps people untangle long-standing stress, anxiety, grief, or drops in motivation. Her style is steady and practical, aimed at restoring a sense of balance and clarity.

Bonnie often meets with adults who have been the dependable person for others for years and now feel emotionally depleted. She helps people notice what they have been carrying and identify small, manageable changes. Conversations focus on understanding what matters to the person and finding ways to reconnect with those priorities.

Her work blends approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered care. That means sessions can include learning new ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts, practicing acceptance of difficult emotions, and shaping goals that fit the client’s life. Mindfulness and skills-based practice are used when they fit the person’s needs.

Bonnie also supports people facing relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem problems, and the stress of caregiving or chronic health issues. She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that make relationships feel stuck. Together she helps people build steadier routines and clearer boundaries.

She practices in Florida and works in English. Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Bonnie combines clear, practical methods that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to act toward values that matter to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from past relationships to understand how they influence current connections and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bonnie will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Together you can test what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work fits your life and feels useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten the time needed to meet, and reduce travel. It can also allow for skills practice between meetings and steady follow-up during times of change. Licensed professionals help clients tailor session frequency and focus to meet immediate needs while building long-term coping skills.
