About Bonnie
Bonnie Christensen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings 20 years of experience to her practice in Florida. She focuses on helping adults who have carried responsibilities so long they feel worn out, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. Bonnie speaks plainly and creates space for people to talk about what feels heavy without pressure to be perfect.
She sees people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship struggles. She also helps with issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, body image, codependency, communication problems, and dissociation. Many clients come because they feel burned out from always being the dependable one.
Bonnie mixes practical, evidence-informed ways of working with a gentle, person-centered stance. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) along with attachment-focused ideas. Sessions focus on understanding what’s happening now and trying small, useful changes.
Her style emphasizes collaboration and pacing therapy to fit each person’s needs. The goal is to help people feel steadier, clearer, and more able to care for themselves while meeting life’s demands. Bonnie frames therapy as a place to slow down and sort through what’s been overwhelming.
Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients in Florida can follow the Start Therapy steps to connect and plan next steps.
How Bonnie's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and helps people try practical changes to reduce worry or lift mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of closeness and trust, which can help with relationship struggles and feelings of abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bonnie treats therapy as collaborative and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set a pace that feels manageable and choose exercises and skills that make sense for everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the therapist biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. It can also let people try techniques and homework between meetings to see what helps most. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to remote sessions and will discuss practical arrangements so therapy fits into daily routines.
