01About Bonnie
Bonnie Spicer is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Tennessee who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She uses straightforward methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction. Bonnie aims to make conversations feel calm and useful so clients can try small changes that lead to steady progress.
Bonnie blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next steps.
Background and approach
Her client-centered stance keeps sessions paced by the client’s concerns and goals. Her work covers many everyday struggles, including sleep and eating problems, relationship and intimacy issues, career stress, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and body image or self-esteem challenges.
Bonnie listens for patterns that get in the way and helps people build practical skills to change them. Sessions often focus on small, real-world practices: identifying a single behavior to try, rehearsing new ways to speak or set boundaries, and planning follow-up actions between meetings. She encourages steady skill building rather than quick fixes.
Bonnie has seven years of clinical experience and uses that background to tailor steps to each client’s situation. People meet her to work through life transitions, cope with trauma or loss, and develop tools for daily resilience.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Bonnie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. CBT often breaks problems into small steps and gives practical exercises people can try between sessions to see what works.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed actions toward those values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with long-term conditions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. This is collaborative - adjustments are made as progress or challenges appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions will work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options make brief check-ins and skill practice easier to fit into a busy schedule. These options aim to make regular sessions more flexible and easier to keep over time.
