About Bonnie
Bonnie Spicer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, substance use concerns, and other life challenges. Bonnie focuses on practical steps people can take to feel more stable and able to cope.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-informed work. In sessions she helps clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also draws on client-centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and communication techniques.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns. These include grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, sexual and intimacy issues, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, and addiction-related struggles. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, chronic illness or pain, and caregiver stress.
Bonnie pays attention to patterns that come from early relationships, such as attachment wounds and abandonment fears. She helps people break cycles of codependency, control issues, and problematic communication. Treatment focuses on small, doable changes that reduce turmoil and improve daily functioning.
Sessions are delivered in English. The therapy model emphasizes clear skills, short-term experiments, and problem-solving alongside deeper exploration when needed. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online options button.
Using CBT, ACT, and attachment work in online sessions
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying patterns that keep problems going and testing new behaviors or ways of thinking in small steps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habit change.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings without getting driven by them. It emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try different ways of relating and communicating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which techniques to try first. Plans can shift over time based on what helps most for daily functioning and coping.
