About Bonnie

Bonnie Spicer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who focuses on practical, person-focused therapy. She offers steady support for people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and codependency. Bonnie aims to help clients build clearer boundaries and healthier patterns in everyday life.

She combines several approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions may include work on thoughts and behaviors, attention to attachment patterns, and helping clients notice values and take small, meaningful steps. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making relief feel possible sooner rather than later.

Bonnie has seven years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns. She has helped people with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, and challenges like sleep and eating struggles. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and work-related burnout.

Her practice addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues without conducting couple or family sessions unless the client’s situation calls for individual-focused work on those topics. Bonnie supports people experiencing ADHD, bipolar mood shifts, and other overlapping conditions through skills-based planning and emotional regulation practice.

People who meet with Bonnie can expect compassionate listening, clear problem-solving, and step-by-step plans for change. She encourages clients to set realistic goals, try small experiments between sessions, and build routines that support long-term progress.

How Bonnie’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, values-driven actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for addressing codependent patterns by clarifying priorities and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with practical exercises and homework that support mood and behavior improvements. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns from early experiences and helps people develop different ways of relating and responding to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bonnie will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your situation. You decide which methods to try and the pace at which to use them, so the plan stays practical and realistic.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to schedule. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice and coping strategies over distance, and Bonnie can tailor exercises and between-session tasks to match daily routines and goals.
