About Bonnie
Bonnie McClurd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, and family conflict. She emphasizes each person's strengths and treats clients as the expert on their own story.
Bonnie encourages small, steady steps toward change. She speaks plainly and aims for practical conversations that fit into busy lives. Many clients begin by talking through what matters most and setting clear, manageable goals.
Her background includes work with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, and sleep or eating difficulties. She also supports people facing career stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions. Her scope includes a wide range of additional topics such as body image, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and chronic illness concerns.
Bonnie draws from several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She uses client-centered work to center the client's perspective, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking, and emotionally-focused methods for relationship and attachment concerns. She aims to be collaborative and direct, helping people identify practical steps they can try between sessions.
Signing up for therapy is often a brave first move, and Bonnie acknowledges that. She invites people to take that step and to use therapy as a space for clearer decision making and steady coping.
How Bonnie's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work focuses on the person's own experience and choices. The therapist takes a listening-first stance, opening space for clients to name what matters and to build on their strengths. This style helps with stress, self-esteem, and coping through life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises and short experiments to shift patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or addictive behavior. CBT often includes homework that people can do between sessions to see quick changes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to how people respond to strong feelings in relationships. It helps people notice patterns of connection and move toward greater emotional safety and trust during conversations about intimacy or attachment concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bonnie will collaborate with each person to choose which methods make the most sense given their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time if something isn't helping.
