About Bonnie

Bonnie Edwards is an Ohio-based LPCC with two decades of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, and many life transitions.

Background and approach

She blends practical skills with compassionate listening to help clients navigate relationship and family challenges, parenting and caregiving stress, sleep difficulties, self-esteem and career concerns, and issues like panic, guilt, and isolation. Bonnie’s style emphasizes mindfulness-informed practice alongside evidence-informed techniques.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking patterns and teach concrete coping strategies, while drawing on client-centered principles that prioritize each person’s values and perspective. Her background includes teaching Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindful Self-Compassion, and a long personal commitment to meditation that informs her work with stress, trauma responses, and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns.

Clients seeking practical tools, reflective exploration, and steady guidance may find her approach balanced and accessible. Bonnie offers feedback and skills training aimed at real-life application, helping clients set goals and build habits that support lasting change within the context of their daily lives.

Mindfulness, CBT, and Accessible Online Care

Bonnie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based methods in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, panic, depression, and stress, offering concrete skills clients can use between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and self-compassion, helping people reduce reactivity to difficult emotions and build resilience when coping with trauma, grief, caregiving stress, or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bonnie works with clients to clarify their goals, preferences, and daily realities, and then tailors interventions accordingly so therapy aligns with each person’s needs and values. She partners with clients to evaluate what techniques are most useful and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from home or work. The variety of formats supports continuity of care while allowing practical adjustments as life circumstances change.
