About Bonnie
Bonnie Edwards is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English for clients in Ohio.
Bonnie uses straightforward feedback and practical skills in sessions. She draws on mindfulness practices and cognitive tools to help people notice patterns, regulate strong feelings, and make different choices in daily life. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be done next.
Her background includes training as an instructor of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindful Self-Compassion. That experience informs how she teaches breathing, attention skills, and simple awareness practices that can be used between sessions. She also integrates cognitive behavioral ideas to address thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety.
Bonnie describes her work as honest and supportive, offering skills people can use right away. She helps people understand stress reactions, respond to triggers with less reactivity, and rebuild routines that improve sleep and energy. Practical problem solving and small behavior changes are common parts of the work.
When trauma and abuse are part of the picture, trauma-focused strategies are used alongside mindfulness to reduce overwhelm. For those dealing with grief, life transitions, or caregiver stress, sessions include pacing and strategies for handling strong emotions. People who want concrete tools for managing anger and frustration often leave with clear steps to try between sessions.
How her approaches fit into online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people describe what matters most to them. In online sessions this means the counselor reflects what she hears and helps clients set practical goals for anger, stress, and relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT work in remote sessions often includes identifying thought patterns that fuel anger and practicing simple behavioral experiments between meetings to test new ways of responding.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of triggers. Online sessions can include guided mindfulness exercises and short practices to use during the week to notice stress and interrupt automatic reactions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match the client's goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean trying a mindfulness practice for a few weeks, adding CBT strategies, or focusing on coping skills for sleep and caregiver strain.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. The main practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life - easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and quicker check-ins when weeks are tight. Some formats also allow shorter sessions or audio-only check-ins when that better fits daily routines.
