About me

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I earned my Bachelor's Degree from the University of South Florida, and my Master's Degree in Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University and have been working in the field since 2001. I have worked inpatient and outpatient hospital settings, non-profit agencies, and in private practice.

My experience is extensive, having done much work with couples working to strengthen and preserve their relationship, supported clients who are healing from divorce or other traumatic life events, and worked with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety or chronic stress. I have worked with clients who have a significant mental health diagnosis, as well as individuals who are in crisis.

You will find me to be compassionate and thoughtful as we work together to sort through your issues and experiences in order to gain a healthy perspective and healing. Please message me if you're interested in talking before setting up a session.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bonnie Define. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Bonnie not only listens but provides areas of focus and insight that has been very helpful in dealing with grief over my husbands death, personal growth and establishing an opportunity for self reflection and development

Bonnie s therapy and insights has been God sent! I have prayed and looked for a therapist who could be effective, knowledgeable and also deeply rooted in God s truth. Bonnie has a great combination of wisdom, professional experience and faith that is very effective and healing! She is empathetic, challenging, supportive and compassionate. Would recommend Bonnie to anyone who wants to heal and grow in a healthy way.

Bonnie has been a great support. She is very knowledgeable on the topics of dealing with difficult people, personality disorders, trauma, boundaries and codependency. I like that she brings a Christian perspective to therapy and shares Christian resources. It is only through the power of Christ we can change therefore much prayer and scripture much be applied when tackling emotional health.

Bonnie is responsive and makes time for missed or extra session when she can be available. She shares videos, books and resources to help further understand how to overcome issues within ourselves and with other people. Even though she shares Christian material with me, she has an open mind and understanding to worldly issues. I would highly recommend her for counseling.

I just had my first session with Bonnie. She is amazingly perceptive and got to the heart of what I rambled on about with patience, kindness providing positive feedback and ways to deal with my situation. Bonnie is wonderful and I will keep my counseling appointments with her.
