About Bonnie
Bonnie Christensen is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience offering grounded, practical therapy. She focuses on helping adults who feel worn out, overwhelmed, or unsure how life became so heavy. Bonnie uses an empathetic, straightforward style that aims to restore steadiness and clarity.
She sees how long-term caregiving, heavy responsibilities, and constant problem-solving can leave someone feeling disconnected from themselves. Sessions often start by naming what’s most draining and creating small steps that feel manageable.
Background and approach
Bonnie emphasizes simple, useful strategies people can try between meetings. Her work draws on Existential therapy alongside cognitive and acceptance-based approaches. That means clients talk about meaning, choice, and values while also learning concrete ways to cope with worry, low mood, and relationship patterns.
The aim is to reconnect with what matters and to build daily habits that support it. Bonnie has supported people through grief, chronic stress, and caregiving strain, as well as struggles with self-worth, communication, and persistent anxiety. She also works with issues like dissociation, attachment concerns, and the effects of long-term illness or disability.
Conversations are respectful and paced to each person’s needs. Therapy is collaborative and tailored. Bonnie helps clients identify goals, try new tools, and notice small changes that add up.
Her approach is practical, caring, and designed to help people feel steadier and more connected to their lives again.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Bonnie combines Existential therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people reconnect with what matters and build practical ways to cope. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and the life values someone wants to live by, which can help when life feels empty or overwhelming. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking values-based action to move forward.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns can shape current reactions and communication styles. That perspective helps when worry, avoidance, or clinginess get in the way of forming closer connections. Choosing the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process; Bonnie will work with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for a more traditional session feel, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and text or chat allows quick check-ins or shorter supports between appointments. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, or health demands.
