About Eileen

Eileen "Bonnie" Hires is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with certifications in addictions and co-occurring disorders in Pennsylvania and more than twenty years of experience in the field.

Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused approaches, Mindfulness practices, Client-Centered Therapy, and Problem Solving therapies, which she selects and tailors based on the presenting issue. Areas of focus include addictions and related concerns such as family conflicts, anxiety, depression, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and co-dependency. She also has experience addressing trauma, grief, and a range of emotional and behavioral challenges that often accompany substance use.

She encourages people to reach out for support for themselves and for those they love, and is committed to collaborating with clients who are ready to engage honestly in the work of change.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and difficulties with motivation or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve functioning; it is commonly applied for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonreactive observation of thoughts and emotions, supporting stress reduction, emotion regulation, and recovery from trauma or chronic distress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and is typically collaborative. Eileen "Bonnie" Hires and other licensed professionals will discuss needs, goals, and preferences together with each person to determine which combination of approaches best fits their situation, and will adjust strategies over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits that support continuity of care. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier for people in different locations to access therapists. These options allow therapists to offer consistent, personalized support in ways that suit each person's life and communication style.
