Bonnie Spicer, LPC

Bonnie Spicer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people facing difficult life changes. She centers sessions on the client's experience and offers clear steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and rebuild confidence.

Bonnie draws on several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people act on values even when feelings are strong. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early bonds shape current struggles.

Common concerns she helps people with include stress, depression, anxiety, substance use, and grief. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image and intimacy-related issues. Her work includes attention to trauma and abuse and the ripple effects that follow from those experiences.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Bonnie helps clients set realistic steps, practice new skills between meetings, and notice gradual changes. She offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions alongside therapeutic work.

With seven years of experience as an LPC, she brings steady clinical judgment and practical tools. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her focus on clear communication and achievable progress.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Bonnie uses evidence-informed approaches in ways that are easy to understand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most, then take small actions aligned with those values even when emotions are intense. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bonnie will discuss these methods with each person and pick or combine approaches based on the client's goals, values, and what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and may shift as goals change.
