Bonnie Define, LPC

Bonnie Define is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, grief, intimacy concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, and trauma and abuse. She also helps people with career questions, self-esteem issues, and compassion fatigue.

Bonnie approaches therapy in a straightforward, practical way. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques are used when clients want clearer steps to change thoughts and behaviors.

She has a long history in varied settings, including inpatient and outpatient hospital care, nonprofit agencies, and private practice. That range means she is familiar with both crisis work and longer-term concerns. Clients who have experienced divorce, major life transitions, or medical and caregiver stress are among the issues she has addressed.

Trauma-focused and mindfulness approaches are available when healing from past hurts and learning stress management are priorities. Sessions typically look at patterns in relationships, coping strategies for daily life, and small, achievable goals to ease immediate strain. Bonnie aims to help people get practical relief and clearer perspective.

People considering therapy are invited to reach out to ask questions before scheduling. The next step is to review the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange a first session.
