Bonnie Christensen, LMHC

Bonnie Christensen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel worn out from taking on too much responsibility and who want practical help with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and depression.

Bonnie often meets people who have been the dependable one for years. They appear capable on the outside but feel emotionally drained on the inside. She listens for the ways caregiving, obligation, and daily demands have worn someone down and helps them name what’s happened.

Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as paying attention to feelings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small actions toward them. Mindfulness skills and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available when they are useful.

Her work is aimed at helping people feel steadier and more in touch with their priorities. That can mean setting firmer boundaries, rebuilding confidence, or learning ways to manage persistent worry. She also supports those coping with grief, loss, long-term caregiving stress, chronic illness, and relationship patterns that keep repeating.

Bonnie emphasizes straightforward collaboration. She helps clients map what’s overwhelming, pick a few manageable goals, and try concrete strategies between sessions. People who have carried too much for too long often leave therapy with clearer choices and more reliable ways to care for themselves and others.
