About Bonnie
Bonnie Edwards is an Ohio-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, and major life changes. She uses straightforward feedback and practical skills in sessions so clients can try new ways of handling day-to-day pressures. Her style is calm and grounded.
Bonnie emphasizes mindfulness and teaches simple practices clients can use between sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns in their thinking and change unhelpful habits.
Background and approach
Bonnie brings two decades of work in counseling to each appointment. She has taught Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindful Self-Compassion courses, and she maintains a steady personal meditation practice. That background informs how she explains stress, mood, and coping skills in clear, usable terms.
Sessions focus on useful skills, real-life problem solving, and building small, sustainable changes. Parents often come for help managing overwhelm, sleep trouble, or communication struggles, and Bonnie frames work around practical steps tailored to each person’s life. Therapy is collaborative.
Bonnie listens first, then offers tools and experiments to try between sessions. Her aim is to help people move toward clearer priorities, less reactivity, and better coping with whatever they are facing.

Mindfulness and skills-based care delivered online
Bonnie draws from mindfulness-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Mindfulness-based approaches focus on present-moment awareness and simple meditation practices to reduce reactivity and stress. These methods can help with anxiety, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and parenting overwhelm. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and cope better with low mood or panic.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Bonnie listens to a person’s goals and daily realities, then suggests approaches to try together. She revisits methods over time and adjusts tools based on what helps most for the client’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and teaching practices. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill prompts, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum while practicing new skills.
