About Bonneka Seals
Bonneka Seals brings a collaborative, person-focused approach to therapy, working with adults who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, life transitions, addictions, trauma, and a range of other emotional and practical challenges. She emphasizes the whole person rather than just symptoms, helping clients move away from unhelpful patterns by building self-awareness and mindfulness and by exploring values that guide meaningful change.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience, Bonneka combines evidence-based methods with compassionate listening to support clients facing stress, grief, parenting difficulties, career concerns, self-esteem struggles, and intimacy or family issues. Her training in trauma-informed care equips her to support survivors of abusive or traumatic experiences and to help them reclaim agency and forward momentum in their lives.
Bonneka describes therapy as a collaborative process - an "our" approach - where the therapeutic relationship is central. She integrates client-centered principles, emotionally focused work, and evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. By focusing on practical skills, reflection, and values-guided action, she helps clients work toward greater resilience and improved well-being.
Bonneka practices in Wisconsin and offers multiple remote session formats to fit different lifestyles and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Bonneka uses several evidence-based approaches that translate well to remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings - it often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility.Client-Centered Therapy centers the relationship and empathic listening, giving clients space to explore their experience and discover their own solutions - this approach supports self-esteem, grief work, relationship concerns, and overall personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, insomnia, and coping with stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Bonneka works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailors methods from these approaches so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for those balancing work, family, or mobility limits. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient setting, maintain continuity during life changes, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy schedule.
