About Bonnie

Bonnie Spicer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who focuses on practical, person-centered work. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship strain. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, aimed at helping people find steady ways to cope and move forward.

She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based work to help people notice patterns that cause distress. Sessions often include developing concrete coping skills, building routines for sleep and eating, and practicing small behavior changes that add up over time.

Bonnie also uses attachment-based perspectives to look at how past bonds shape current relationships. That can help with intimacy-related worries, communication problems, and issues around commitment. She pays attention to how life events such as grief, caregiving stress, or chronic health problems affect daily functioning.

Her practice includes attention to identity and community concerns, including LGBT topics, and addresses areas such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. She works with people on career stress, parenting strain, and navigating major life changes.

With seven years of experience, Bonnie aims to create a calm space where clients can identify goals and take small, doable steps toward them. The process centers on the person’s goals, practical tools, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches guide online work

Bonnie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with practical alternatives. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and insomnia because it targets daily routines and thinking habits that keep problems going.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful for coping with stress, chronic illness, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bonnie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit those needs. This is a collaborative effort where adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the therapist's biography does not specify which online options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or using a phone call when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help make regular sessions more manageable while the therapist and client focus on steady progress.
