Bonnie McClurd, LPC

Bonnie McClurd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She centers work on each person's strengths and helps them move through hard moments. Bonnie encourages people to take the first step toward change and recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage.

Her practical style focuses on clear goals and steady progress. She listens first, then helps people name the problems they want to change. Sessions tend to be straightforward and aimed at real-life shifts, such as reducing anxiety, improving sleep, or managing addictive behaviors.

Bonnie uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotionally-focused methods to guide conversations. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and build stronger emotional awareness. Together with each person she sets manageable steps and checks progress along the way.

She offers support for a wide range of concerns, including stress, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Bonnie also works with topics such as body image, caregiving strain, chronic illness, attachment difficulties, and kink or BDSM-related concerns when they come up in a person's story.

Her approach aims to be respectful and collaborative. She helps people talk through difficult feelings, try new skills between sessions, and adjust the plan as needs change.

How Bonnie's approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person's goals. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to use their own strengths to solve problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift patterns in how they respond to strong emotions, which can improve intimacy and relationship-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bonnie works collaboratively to choose or combine methods based on what each person needs and prefers. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan so goals stay realistic and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking if you need a specific format. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use video or audio sessions depending on what feels most workable. Talk with Bonnie about schedule and format so sessions fit into everyday life.
