About me

Hello! My name is Bonnie, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker with over 5 years of clinical experience working with a wide range of conditions including grief, loss, anxiety, depression, caregiver/compassion fatigue and a variety of other conditions as well. I have also worked with individuals, families and in group settings. My goal is to provide you with a safe, open and unbiased environment where you feel comfortable to take the first steps in your journey.
My approach to therapy is tailored to meet your unique needs and much of my experience has been using client centered therapy. I believe that clients know themselves best and can determine the direction they would like to take. I also have experience with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) as well.
If you are ready to get started it would be my honor and pleasure to work with you.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bonnie Nielsen. 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 provided excellent care during a crazy transition in my life. I was having anxiety about moving across the country (and all that entails) and finding a new job. She was compassionate and kind, but she also didn't hold back on telling me what I needed to hear! She gave me several worksheets for targeting the issue as well as sharing books I could use for continued growth in my mental health self care.

I would love to stay with Bonnie as my therapist but after moving started, I no longer can.

Thank you, Bonnie, for everything you have helped with. I'll miss talking with you and I'll remember your advice. :)

Bonnie was very responsive and helpful. She’s a great listener and really attentive to you. She brought up points that needed to be brought up but did it in such a way that it didn’t feel like she was shoving the point down your throat or passing judgment. She definitely does not pass judgment!! Thank you Bonnie!!

Bonnie has been great! I’ve had other counselors in my past however, she has been the best one yet. She is very empathetic, caring, patient and truly strives to do all she can to see improvement throughout the counseling period. I would definitely recommend her and if my counseling needs to be extended, I will certainly request to have Bonnie again. Thank you for all that you do!
