About Bonnie Christensen
Bonnie Christensen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a credential that indicates advanced training and state licensure to provide mental health therapy. Based in Florida, she brings 20 years of experience supporting adults who have spent a long time being the dependable one - the person others rely on - and who are now feeling the weight of stress, responsibility, and constant problem-solving.
Many people appear capable on the outside while privately feeling worn down, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Bonnie understands how pressure can accumulate over time, especially for those who consistently put others first. In therapy, she helps clients slow down, make sense of what they are carrying, and begin shifting patterns that keep them stuck in exhaustion, worry, or self-doubt.
Her work often focuses on concerns such as stress and anxiety, depression or low motivation, grief and major life changes, relationship difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports clients who feel emotionally depleted or burned out, including those who are caring for others while neglecting their own needs.
Bonnie draws from established approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based practices. She aims to create a supportive, respectful environment where therapy is tailored to the individual, allowing space for honest conversation without pressure to have everything perfectly explained. Together, she and her clients work toward greater clarity, steadiness, and a renewed sense of connection to the life they want to build.

Practical therapy approaches, delivered online
Bonnie Christensen integrates evidence-based methods that can be especially helpful for people who feel responsible for everyone else and are starting to feel worn down by stress, relationship strain, grief, or low self-worth.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and the behaviors that reinforce them. It offers structured, practical tools for working with worry, burnout, and mood-related struggles by building new ways to respond to everyday stressors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. Rather than getting stuck in a constant fight with anxiety or sadness, ACT supports values-based choices and steadier follow-through during challenging seasons.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and ongoing relationship experiences can shape trust, closeness, and communication. This can be useful for repeating relationship patterns, feeling emotionally disconnected, or navigating major life transitions and loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bonnie collaborates with clients to understand what they are facing, what they want to change, and what style of support feels most comfortable, adjusting the pace and tools along the way.
Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a way that fits real life, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help clients stay consistent, even with busy schedules or changing needs.
