About Bonnie
Bonnie Christensen is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience who centers her work on attachment-based ideas. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, burdened by responsibility, or emotionally worn down. Her style is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable again.
Bonnie listens for patterns that keep people stuck - for example, repeatedly taking on too much or feeling drained by caregiving roles.
Background and approach
She helps clients name what they are carrying and decide which changes to try first. Sessions often include straightforward tools to reduce worry and lift low mood. Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment strategies to address anxiety, depression, and persistent worry.
She also uses client-centered methods to create a steady, respectful space where people can talk without needing to explain themselves perfectly. Attachment-based ideas guide how she looks at relationship patterns and self-worth concerns. Bonnie has supported adults through grief, major life transitions, and the strain of long-term caregiving.
She also works with people facing body image struggles, chronic illness or pain, dissociation, and other stress-related issues. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and on concrete steps clients can try between sessions. Therapy with Bonnie is paced to each person.
She treats the work as collaborative, helping people reconnect to who they are and build routines that protect their energy. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and a greater sense of belonging in daily life.

Online support
Attachment and evidence-based approaches online
Bonnie blends attachment-based ideas with acceptance and commitment therapy and client-centered practice to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and self-worth, helping people notice and shift repeating habits. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts and take values-driven action even when emotions are strong. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment so people can find their own solutions.Choosing an approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk about what seems to fit your situation, try strategies, and adjust based on what helps you meet your goals. This collaborative planning aims to match methods to your needs and pace.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you have a traditional face-to-face style when you want it. Phone sessions can fit a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around life's demands.
