Bonnie Christensen, LMHC

Bonnie Christensen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She helps people who have spent years carrying responsibilities and now feel worn out, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. Her work is down-to-earth and focused on practical ways to feel steadier and more like yourself again.

Bonnie often meets people who are dependable and capable on the outside but exhausted inside. She listens for how stress, caregiving, and life changes have built up over time. Together she clarifies what’s happening and finds steps that make daily life more manageable.

The core of her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods. She combines these with mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy so people can better manage worry, mood, and intense emotions. Therapy sessions are respectful and tailored to each person’s needs.

Bonnie works with adults facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and the strain of caregiving. She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, attachment difficulties, and other related challenges.

Her goal is to help people move at a comfortable pace while building clearer thinking, stronger coping, and renewed motivation. If you want steadier days and a clearer sense of who you are, she offers focused, compassionate help to get started.

How Bonnie’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change mood and behavior; it often helps with worry, low mood, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, which can help with relationship problems and feeling emotionally stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they’ll try methods, check what’s working, and adjust the plan so sessions fit daily life and real needs.

If you prefer online options, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day. It also lets people use strategies learned in sessions directly in their own routines. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment work to an online setting so therapy stays focused and practical.
