Vicki Bonham, LMHC

Vicki Bonham is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of clinical experience and a long background in education and coaching. She brings experience from classroom and counseling roles and also works as a motivational speaker and life coach. Vicki focuses on meeting people where they are and helping them move toward clearer goals and greater confidence.

Her work often centers on day-to-day thoughts and habits that shape how people feel and act. She helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, LGBT-related issues, grief, trauma and coping with life changes. She also supports those facing career challenges, parenting strain, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and a range of attachment or family-related worries.

Vicki uses practical, conversational approaches in sessions. She adapts what she does to each person instead of applying the same plan to everyone. Conversations blend problem-solving, skills practice, and chances to notice thought patterns that get in the way.

Her clinical tools include approaches that work with thoughts, feelings, and behavior such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered methods to build understanding and strengthen relationships with self and others.

Clients who want a coach-like, encouraging therapist will find a supportive presence. Vicki emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and empowerment as people take steps toward change and improved daily habits.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like low mood and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections, helping people understand patterns in relationships and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to try methods that fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the specific session formats with the therapist before booking, as session options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options that match your daily routine. It can also let someone use a quieter space, choose not to be on camera, or schedule sessions around work and caregiving demands, which helps therapy become a practical part of day-to-day life.
