About Bonneka

Bonneka Seals is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, addictions, ADHD, and other concerns that can leave people feeling stuck.

Background and approach

She centers work on each person’s unique situation and meets clients where they are to explore patterns, coping strategies, and values that influence daily life. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical skill building rather than labeling a person by a diagnosis.

Using evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and emotionally focused techniques, she helps clients increase self-awareness, develop mindfulness, and replace unhelpful habits with healthier responses. Bonneka draws on ten years of clinical experience in Wisconsin to support people through life transitions, grief, career issues, intimacy challenges, and substance use concerns.

Sessions are offered through flexible online formats to fit varied schedules and preferences. She frames therapy as a shared endeavor where clients guide goals and the therapist offers tools, structure, and accountability to move toward meaningful change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and mood; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce impulsivity and improve relationships, which can be useful when managing intense emotions or addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is collaborative and often evolves over time. The therapist works together with each client to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address, blending techniques as needed to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so clients can choose formats that fit their schedule and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or transitions, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to apply the same evidence-based practices used in person.
