About Bonnie

Bonnie McClurd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, and trauma and abuse. Bonnie begins by listening to each person's story and building on the strengths they already have.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through current struggles. Bonnie frames the work as a partnership - she asks clear questions and helps people choose practical steps they can try between sessions. She aims for straightforward, doable strategies rather than long lists of homework.

Her work draws on client-centered methods to keep the person's goals central. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new behaviors. Emotionally-focused ideas help when relationships and attachment patterns are part of the problem.

Bonnie also brings solution-focused and existential perspectives when people want concrete changes or need to make meaning from big life events. She helps with a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy questions, body image, ADHD, caregiver stress, and coping with life changes.

Conversations with Bonnie tend to be grounded and practical. She encourages small experiments, clearer communication, and steady progress. If you are ready to start, she guides the initial steps and helps map out what work might look like for you.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Bonnie uses client-centered therapy to keep the person's goals at the center of each session. That approach means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people use their own strengths to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is also a core method she uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Bonnie will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt methods to match goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. She checks in over time and shifts focus when needed so the work stays relevant.

The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your schedule and comfort level so sessions can be arranged in a practical way that supports your goals.
