About Bonnie
Bonnie Chase is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont with two decades of experience. She guides people through challenges like addiction, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and parenting concerns. Bonnie aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
Bonnie creates a calm space where people can speak honestly about what worries them. She focuses on listening first and helping people name what feels hard.
Background and approach
That clarity often leads to practical next steps and short-term goals that fit day-to-day life. Her work often includes coping strategies for stress, sleep problems, anger, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people wrestling with self-esteem, motivation, intimacy issues, and career transitions.
Conversations are grounded in real situations rather than abstract theory. Bonnie emphasizes collaboration. She and the person seeking help look at what’s working, what’s not, and decide on small, achievable changes.
Sessions aim to build skills people can use between meetings, such as planning, problem solving, and regulating difficult feelings. Therapy with Bonnie can include short check-ins or longer focused sessions depending on what someone needs. She communicates in straightforward terms and offers a mix of practical tools and emotional support.
For many, that combination helps move things forward one step at a time.

Approaches and online therapy options that fit your life
Bonnie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and real-world skills. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills for stress, sleep, and anger by teaching practical tools and daily routines that can reduce immediate distress. Another approach centers on working through trauma and emotional wounds by helping people tell their stories at a pace that feels manageable and by developing strategies to reduce overwhelming reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bonnie works with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. She helps people weigh options and picks techniques that suit their needs and preferences rather than prescribing a single method up front.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
