About Bonnie
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Montana with 14 years of experience, Bonnie Inks focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and mood disorders. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Bonnie approaches work directly and simply, helping people talk through what’s hard and identify next steps.
Bonnie creates straightforward conversations about practical problems. She encourages clients to describe what they notice, what’s getting in the way, and what they want to change. Sessions are a place to name patterns, try small experiments, and adjust strategies that aren’t working.
Her background includes more than a decade of clinical practice in Montana. That experience informs how she recognizes common reactions to stress, addiction, and trauma. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and to help people learn skills they can use day to day.
Bonnie works with issues tied to relationships and family of origin, including codependency, control concerns, divorce and separation, and forgiveness. She also addresses grief, aging and geriatric concerns, and challenges faced by first responders and people who have experienced natural or human-caused disasters.
When clients bring work on mood issues like bipolar disorder or depression, she focuses on coping strategies and practical supports. For substance problems she helps people examine patterns and strengthen steps toward change. Bonnie asks clients to set clear goals and to review progress at regular intervals.

How Bonnie applies evidence-based techniques online
Bonnie works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and negative self-talk. This helps with stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem by making thoughts easier to notice and change.Another approach focuses on behavior and routine changes to address addictions and mood problems. It breaks larger goals into small, repeatable steps and tracks what helps or hinders progress. This method supports people dealing with substance use, depression, or the daily effects of bipolar disorder.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Bonnie will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques to try together. She checks progress and adjusts plans based on what works for you.
