About Vicki
Vicki Bonham is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings five years of clinical experience and more than three decades in education, where she worked in counseling and teaching roles. Vicki combines those perspectives to offer practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
She helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and motivation. Vicki also supports people navigating relationship concerns, LGBT-related issues, grief, and trauma. Codependency and attachment concerns are among the topics she addresses alongside career, parenting, and sleep difficulties.
Vicki’s sessions are collaborative and focused on real-life change. She adapts conversations and plans to match each person’s needs. Expect a respectful, compassionate approach that centers the client’s goals and values.
Her work draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and build practical habits. Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness and trust issues.
Vicki frames therapy as a step-by-step process. She aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions. The emphasis is on small, sustainable shifts that make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.
How therapeutic approaches shape online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behavior, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of closeness and trust from past relationships and uses that understanding to improve current connections and intimacy.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss different methods, and together decide what to try first. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what feels most helpful and what fits your goals and preferences.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm available options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and let people meet from locations that work better for them. It can also allow for shorter check-ins between full sessions and make scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities simpler. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting in ways that focus on practical tools and everyday changes.
