About Bonnie
Bonnie McClurd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with ten years of experience. She focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, depression, and anger, and helps people facing relationship and family concerns. Bonnie encourages people to see their own strengths and take the first step toward change.
She works in a straightforward, respectful way. Sessions look at what is happening now and what practical steps can help.
Background and approach
Bonnie listens for each person's story and tailors the pace and methods to the individual. She aims to make sessions feel manageable and goal-oriented. Bonnie uses approaches that tend to be active and focused.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to offer a supportive space where someone can be heard and better understand their feelings. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns or attachment issues are central to the concern.
Solution-Focused methods help when a person wants clear, short-term goals and small actionable steps. Together these tools help with problems like grief, addictions, eating and sleeping issues, and career stress. Bonnie is comfortable addressing ADHD, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT matters.
Her work also covers specialty areas like caregiver stress, body image, and intimacy-related issues. She encourages honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change.

How Bonnie’s Approach Translates to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful listening space where the person guides the topics and pace; it helps people feel heard and understand their own motivations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and adds concrete tasks between sessions to change patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is useful when relationship patterns or attachment issues are central, and it helps people notice emotional patterns and try new ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bonnie collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She may blend approaches and adjust over time so the plan fits what the person wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and keep a regular meeting rhythm. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support short check-ins, ongoing reflection, or those who find written communication more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
