Tammy Bonnici , LPC

Tammy Bonnici is a Colorado-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who creates a supportive environment for people working through past and present life events. She earned a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs and has developed a practice focused on healing from depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and related concerns. Tammy also holds credentials in addiction counseling and brings experience addressing substance use, anger management, and relationship difficulties.

Her therapeutic stance is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and direct, meeting each person where they are in the process and tailoring care to individual needs. Tammy frequently integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress, while also emphasizing strengths and new ways of creating meaningful life experiences. She works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals and develop practical strategies for change.

Tammy’s background includes helping people navigate grief, caregiving stress, intimacy and attachment issues, workplace challenges, and questions about life purpose. Whether the focus is recovery from addiction, rebuilding self-esteem, or coping with major life transitions, she aims to provide a steady, open-minded therapeutic presence during the change process.

Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Tammy commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their values, feelings, and decisions - it is useful for building self-esteem, improving communication, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to recognize and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be especially effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Tammy approaches this collaboratively. She will discuss clients' goals, preferences, and life context to determine which methods fit best, adjusting strategies over time as needs change. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online formats - including video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. Licensed professionals can provide focused, goal-oriented care through these modalities, making it easier to maintain continuity of support while balancing other commitments.
