About Bonnie
Bonnie Spicer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She uses clear, down-to-earth guidance to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday habits that get in the way of living well. Her style aims to make therapy feel practical and approachable for busy lives.
She often focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people change patterns that fuel distress. That can mean learning simple routines to sleep better, sharpening skills for managing anger, or trying small behavior changes for mood and motivation. Sessions emphasize concrete steps and repeatable tools rather than complicated theory.
Bonnie draws on a mix of therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She works with methods that address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and relationships. The aim is to give people usable strategies they can try between sessions.
Her caseload includes concerns such as trauma and grief, addiction and compassion fatigue, ADHD, body image and eating issues, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing career strain, parenting challenges, and chronic health stressors. These topics often overlap, and Bonnie helps people untangle them one issue at a time.
With seven years of experience, Bonnie centers collaboration and steady progress. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started, then schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making steady life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which can help with mood, sleep, and daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative, with regular check-ins to adjust techniques and priorities as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people appreciate online work for fitting sessions into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to practice skills in day-to-day settings and to keep momentum between appointments.
