About Bonnie
Bonnie Chase is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, anger, and related concerns. Her practice also includes work on self-esteem, motivation, relationship and family stresses, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career change, and compassion fatigue.
Bonnie uses straightforward conversation to find what feels most useful for each person. She encourages honest talk about thoughts and feelings and keeps sessions focused on practical steps. The aim is to reduce the moments when anger or frustration take over, and to build clearer patterns for coping and decision making.
Clients typically plan goals together and try approaches that match those goals. That might mean learning new ways to notice warning signs, practicing different responses, or working through past hurts that keep showing up. Bonnie keeps pace with the client and adjusts the work as needed.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a steady clinical background to support people through life changes. Sessions also cover sleep, intimacy concerns, and parenting strains that often come with stress and mood issues. Bonnie asks practical questions and offers small experiments to try between sessions.
People who contact her should expect clear communication about next steps and what to try first. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches and online sessions are used
Bonnie draws on well-researched therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and processing difficult experiences. One approach teaches practical skills for noticing triggers and shifting responses so anger and frustration come up less often; it is useful for workplace stress, relationship tension, and everyday reactivity. Another approach helps people work through past trauma and abuse so those memories stop driving current reactions and mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bonnie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She offers straightforward explanations and adjusts techniques based on what proves most helpful in sessions and between meetings.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins or longer focused sessions depending on what a client needs, and they make it simpler to continue work during job changes, relocation, or when life feels too full to add long commutes.
