About Bonnie

Bonnie Spicer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who uses a collaborative, person-centered approach to support clients through complex life changes.

Background and approach

She blends evidence-based methods with compassionate guidance to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and substance-related concerns, while also addressing interpersonal and identity-related challenges such as LGBT issues and relationship strain. Bonnie’s practice emphasizes practical coping skills alongside deeper self-understanding to promote sustainable change.

With seven years of clinical experience, she works with a broad spectrum of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar disorder, and attention-related challenges like ADHD. Bonnie also attends to less visible but impactful areas such as caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness, and attachment-related difficulties.

Her work aims to empower clients to build resilience, clarify values, and create actionable strategies for healthier daily functioning and more satisfying relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Bonnie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and commit to actions that support a meaningful life; ACT blends mindfulness and behavior change techniques to address anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical coping skills for problems like stress, panic, and mood difficulties.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Bonnie works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and the nature of current challenges, and she adapts methods as needed so the therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single model onto the work.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency during busy periods, manage accessibility needs, and integrate therapeutic tools into daily routines while continuing to work toward emotional and behavioral goals.
