About Bonnie
Bonnie Spicer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and related challenges. She focuses on what matters most to each person and works to build useful skills rather than relying on jargon. Short, steady steps are central to her work.
Bonnie draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas when relationship patterns and self-worth are at issue. Sessions typically include clear goals, skill practice, and real-world strategies. She has seven years of clinical experience supporting people with concerns like addiction, grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue.
Bonnie also helps with life transitions, career stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar mood patterns. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to daily life. Parents worried about specific fears or phobias will find her approach grounded and steady.
Bonnie listens for how fears show up in behavior and relationships, then helps people try small, doable changes that reduce avoidance and build confidence. Her practice uses a mix of video, phone, chat, and text-based formats to fit different schedules. People work together with Bonnie to set priorities and practice skills between sessions.
How Bonnie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Bonnie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, while also teaching techniques to handle difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests new behaviors to reduce anxiety and avoidance.She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas when relationship patterns or self-worth are central. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions, and client-centered work centers the person’s own priorities and experience during sessions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work; the therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no video. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and flexible ways to work through skills. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping therapy focused and practical.
