Bonnie McClurd, LPC

Bonnie McClurd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with ten years of experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. Bonnie emphasizes each person’s strengths and treats clients as experts in their own stories.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and clear goals. Bonnie listens first and then helps people identify small steps that fit their life. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered and emotion-focused approaches to address both thoughts and feelings.

Her background includes work with people facing addictions, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and challenges such as eating or sleeping problems. Bonnie also supports those dealing with career strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and complex issues like attachment or codependency. She draws on ten years of practical experience to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Bonnie prefers a collaborative style. She helps people set realistic goals, tries out strategies in session, and adjusts the plan as needed. Sessions are aimed at producing manageable changes rather than quick fixes.

She offers a range of online session formats, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Taking the first step can be hard, and Bonnie focuses on making the process as clear and manageable as possible.

How Bonnie's Approaches Shape Online Work

Bonnie uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change daily routines. Client-centered work is about listening closely, validating what matters to the person, and building on their strengths to move forward. Emotionally-focused techniques help people name and sit with strong emotions, which can be useful for relationship issues, grief, and deeper patterns of feeling.

Choosing an approach is part of the process. Bonnie works together with each client to decide which methods make the most sense based on their goals and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which gives practical flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can fit busy schedules or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
