Bonnie McClurd , LPC

Bonnie McClurd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. Bonnie frames clients as the experts of their own stories and aims to build on existing strengths. She encourages people to take the first step and recognizes that beginning therapy can feel brave.

Bonnie uses a straightforward style in sessions. She listens first and asks clear questions to understand what matters most to the person in front of her. From there she offers tools to manage symptoms and to improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions are conversational but goal-oriented, with a focus on what will make life feel better.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting stress, and career worries. She also supports people facing major life changes, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of ADHD. Bonnie pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics shape relationships.

Bonnie draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful patterns and build new skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work on relational and intimacy issues, while Solution-Focused and Existential ideas help people find meaning and workable next steps.

Her practice is offered in English and operates online through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on available times.

How Bonnie's Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy is about following the person's lead and building on their strengths. Online sessions let Bonnie listen closely and tailor each conversation to what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new skills to change behavior. That work fits well into video or phone sessions where homework and skill practice can be reviewed together. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and shift patterns in close relationships by naming feelings and working through them in session.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bonnie works collaboratively to figure out what methods suit each person's goals and preferences. She will check in about what feels useful and adapt the plan as progress unfolds so that sessions stay relevant and focused on practical change.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can continue even when schedules or locations change.
