About Bonnie

Bonnie Spicer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the everyday pressures that interfere with rest and routines. Her style is direct and supportive, aimed at practical change rather than long lectures.

Bonnie uses a mix of approaches to match each person's situation. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking. She also uses acceptance and commitment principles to help people shift toward clearer values and calmer responses.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems going. Then she helps people try small, doable experiments to see what makes life easier. That can include sleep-related habits, ways to handle overwhelming days, and steps to reduce burnout or compassion fatigue.

Her background includes seven years working with adults on issues like addiction, grief, relationship strain, and attention differences. Bonnie brings that experience into focused work on sleep and rest when those concerns come up alongside mood or anxiety problems.

People who meet with Bonnie can expect a collaborative pace. She helps set concrete goals and checks progress together. To start, clients complete a short intake and schedule sessions that fit their timing and needs.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a meaningful direction, which can help with anxiety, sleep disruption, and motivation challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It teaches practical skills for changing habits, adjusting unhelpful thinking, and improving routines that affect rest and daily energy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try strategies together. That collaborative process helps identify which methods feel most useful and worth continuing.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try behavioral homework between meetings and bring real-life sleep or routine challenges directly into discussion.
