About Bonneka
Bonneka Seals is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship struggles, and life changes. She also addresses blended family issues, parenting strain, career concerns, and problems with self-esteem and sleep.
Seals uses straightforward, collaborative work rather than directive instruction. Sessions focus on what is happening now, practical ways to reduce distress, and building skills to respond differently. She names patterns people repeat and helps them try new ways of handling difficult moments.
Her approach combines several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult feelings while committing to values-based action. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s perspective central during planning and decisions.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those methods fit the goals. That can include learning emotion regulation skills and improving how someone understands attachment and closeness in relationships. These choices get used as practical tools, not labels.
Sessions are presented as a collaborative process. Seals helps people set clear goals, practice new responses between meetings, and check progress together. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can help when life changes, grief, or blended family tensions make it hard to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and on practicing concrete alternatives. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and managing strong emotions in stressful relationships.
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s perspective at the center. The therapist listens carefully and supports the client in making their own decisions about goals and next steps.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will review what the client wants to change and try methods that fit those goals. The plan adjusts as progress is tracked and new priorities emerge, so decisions are made together.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or commuting. It also allows shorter check-ins or phone-based meetings when that fits a day’s needs, and lets people practice skills from their everyday routines.
