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, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar and depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also lists guilt and shame among her areas of focus.
Bonnie uses a straightforward, skills-focused style. She offers practical feedback and teaches concrete skills people can use between sessions. Conversations often include ways to recognize stress reactions, change unhelpful thinking, and practice calmness through mindfulness exercises.
Her background includes a long personal commitment to meditation and teaching. She has been an instructor of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindful Self-Compassion, and she brings those practices into her counseling work. That experience shapes how she explains stress and how attention and compassion practices can be used in daily life.
In sessions she blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and trauma-focused approaches when needed. That means listening for what matters most to the person, helping reframe thoughts that increase distress, and addressing the ways past events continue to affect current life.
People who come for help with guilt and shame often practice noticing their responses, naming difficult thoughts, and learning small skills to reduce rumination. Bonnie describes therapy as collaborative and aimed at concrete steps people can try between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Bonnie blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices. Client-centered work focuses on what matters to the person and on clear, respectful listening to identify priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior that increase distress and teaches concrete tools to try between sessions. Mindfulness therapy introduces brief attention and breathing practices that help reduce rumination and increase present-moment noticing.Choosing the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then agree on which methods to use. That collaboration continues as skills are practiced and adjusted over time.

Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue work during life transitions while using the same therapeutic approaches discussed above.
