About Bonnie
Bonnie Chase is a Vermont licensed counselor with 20 years of professional experience. She holds the LCMHC credential, and she focuses on helping people facing mood challenges, addiction, and the stress that comes with life changes. Bonnie aims to make beginning therapy an encouraging step rather than a daunting one.

Sessions focus on practical conversation and straightforward tools to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, bipolar mood swings, sleep problems, and substance use. Bonnie also addresses relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, and work-related stress.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals and manageable steps. That might include building coping skills, improving day-to-day routines, and finding ways to reconnect with values and priorities.
Bonnie brings two decades of hands-on experience to her work. Over that time she has helped people regain stability after trauma and loss, and supported those struggling with burnout and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to what is practical for each person's life and responsibilities.
People who choose her often want an empathic listener who offers guidance without judgment. Bonnie encourages small, steady changes and supports her clients through setbacks and progress alike.

These techniques aim to reduce intense reactions, improve sleep and routine, and create clearer steps toward recovery and safety.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Bonnie works with each person to pick and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans as progress and challenges emerge.
