About Bonnie
Bonnie McClurd is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience in Georgia. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, and ADHD. Bonnie meets people where they are and encourages small, doable steps toward clearer days.
Bonnie believes the person in therapy knows their story best. She listens first, then works with each person to build on existing strengths. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth, aimed at producing useful skills rather than jargon-filled explanations.
Background and approach
Her approach blends proven strategies with a warm, supportive style. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral work to address thinking and behavior patterns. Emotion-focused ideas help people better understand and shift how they relate to themselves and others.
Bonnie also brings solution-focused and client-centered practices into sessions. That means she helps people set concrete goals and tries approaches that fit their daily life. The tone is collaborative - therapist and client try things together and adjust based on what helps.
Bonnie has helped people manage grief, coping with life changes, intimacy-related concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. She encourages clients to try new ways of solving problems and to notice progress, even when it feels small. Signing up for therapy is often the hardest step, and she aims to make the rest understandable and manageable.
Approaches to online care and problem solving
Client-centered therapy is about listening and following the client's lead. The therapist asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people notice their strengths so they can make chosen changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that shape relationships and self-view; it can help with intimacy concerns and strong emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bonnie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they choose techniques to try. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most in everyday life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their schedule and needs. Video works well for more interactive exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping focus on practical steps and progress.
