Bonnie Chase , LCMHC

Bonnie Chase, LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor), brings two decades of professional experience to her work with adults facing addiction, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, anxiety and stress, and challenges with self-esteem and relationships. She creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and emotions and work toward practical goals for recovery and growth.

With a focus on collaboration, Bonnie supports clients through life transitions, grief, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, career stresses, and compassion fatigue, helping them develop coping skills and build resilience. Her practice also addresses sleep disturbances, anger, family dynamics, and LGBT concerns, adapting treatment to each person’s needs and circumstances.

Bonnie recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to make that first step feel meaningful and supported. She encourages clients to bring their whole experience to the work and partners with them to create clear, achievable steps toward improved functioning and well-being.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Bonnie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. Trauma-informed methods focus on helping individuals process distressing experiences in manageable steps and build skills to reduce symptoms related to trauma and abuse. Skills-based interventions aim to teach practical tools for managing mood, anxiety, stress, and addictive behaviors, helping clients develop healthier patterns and coping strategies. Supportive, client-centered work addresses self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, and life transitions by creating a collaborative space to explore values and goals.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Bonnie partners with clients to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made so care remains responsive and collaborative.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These modalities make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person visits are not practical, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or work while still engaging in meaningful, evidence-based treatment.
