About Bonnie

Bonnie McClurd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship or family conflicts. Her approach starts with listening and honoring each person's strengths and story. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step a little easier.

Bonnie believes clients know their lives best and brings a respectful, collaborative stance to sessions. She uses practical tools to address patterns that cause distress, and she tailors strategies to fit daily life. Expect clear goals, straightforward talk, and a focus on what will help you feel steadier.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping issues, and challenges related to caregiving and chronic illness. She also supports people facing career stress, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions. Addictions and coping skills are part of her regular practice.

Bonnie draws on several therapy styles such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally focused techniques, existential questions, and solution-focused planning. She mixes these to match a person's needs rather than sticking to a single method.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the rules and credentialing for Georgia LPCs. If you want to explore whether she might be a fit, starting the process is as simple as completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to meet.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows your lead, helping you name what matters and supporting your own problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers clear skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bonnie will talk with you about your goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit your situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as you make progress or face new issues.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can save travel time, allow a shorter check-in between commitments, or let someone choose a session style that avoids being on camera. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep therapy practical and focused on real change.
