About Bonnie
Bonnie Spicer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the stress that comes with daily life. Her manner is warm and direct, aimed at helping clients find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
Bonnie uses practical, evidence-informed methods from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building for emotion regulation, routines to improve sleep and focus, and pacing plans for people dealing with burnout or addiction. She explains tools in plain language and practices them together with clients. She pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns when they affect mood, confidence, or work performance.
That might look like mapping typical interaction patterns or rehearsing new ways to ask for needs to be met. The work balances insight with hands-on strategies clients can use the same week. Bonnie also supports people experiencing grief, trauma, or major life changes.
She helps clients name what feels most urgent, reduce overwhelm, and set achievable next steps. Her coaching-oriented style includes goal setting and accountability when appropriate. Sessions are offered by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session based on the therapist's availability.
Online therapy with grounded, skills-based approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and managing the frustration that often comes with ADHD. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior by teaching concrete skills like planning, thought tracking, and sleep routines that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist collaborate on which tools to emphasize, whether that is emotion regulation, behavioral experiments, or values-based action plans.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reminders and short coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life.
