Bonneka Seals, LPC

Bonneka Seals is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 10 years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She provides individualized care for concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career matters, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleep disturbances, parenting struggles, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, blended family issues, communication problems, control issues, dependent personality traits, divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, family conflict, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and midlife crises.

Seals approaches therapy from an integrative, person-centered perspective that emphasizes collaboration and active participation. She draws from a range of evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. This blend of approaches allows her to tailor interventions to each individual and to address symptoms as well as underlying patterns that maintain distress.

Her work centers on helping clients develop greater self-awareness, build practical coping skills, and move away from unhelpful patterns toward meaningful change. With specialized training in trauma and experience addressing substance-related issues, she supports survivors of difficult experiences and those navigating recovery. Rather than focusing solely on diagnostic labels, Seals emphasizes the whole person and the goals they bring to therapy, working alongside clients to identify strategies that align with their values and life direction.

Seals offers a compassionate, collaborative therapeutic relationship in which the client and therapist work together to set goals and pursue change. She provides services tailored to individual needs and integrates coaching and clinical methods to support both short-term problem solving and longer-term growth.
