About Bonnie

Bonnie McClurd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and related life challenges. Bonnie frames the first step toward therapy as a courageous choice and aims to meet people where they are. Her approach starts from the belief that each person knows their own story best. She uses that perspective to build practical plans that feel doable. Sessions often focus on small, clear steps to reduce immediate distress and improve daily routines. Bonnie draws from a range of therapy styles to fit different needs. She blends client-centered listening with goal-focused techniques, and she helps people understand patterns in their emotions and relationships. This mix can help with grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem, and coping after trauma. People come to her for a wide set of concerns, including sleep and eating struggles, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues like codependency, body image, chronic illness stress, and commitment or communication problems. Her work emphasizes collaboration and practical change. She helps people set achievable goals and tracks progress together. Bonnie invites prospective clients to take the first step and complete the brief matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

How Bonnie's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can name what matters most to them; this helps when someone needs space to tell their story and decide on priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns to help people better understand and shift how they connect with others and themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Bonnie will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative process can include trying different strategies until something feels useful and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework to work well at a distance, and Bonnie aims to focus on concrete steps people can use between meetings.
