About Michele
Michele Bowen is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She practices from Michigan and focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings and take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
Her background includes long work in behavioral health starting in 1994, with practice shaped by many clinical approaches. Michele draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. Michele has experience working with complex trauma, dissociation, and co-occurring substance concerns. She often addresses issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, guilt and shame, isolation, and mood or panic problems.
Her approach is practical and person-centered, focused on building strengths and coping strategies. Sessions may include mindfulness, breathwork, and simple body-centered exercises when clients want them. Michele helps people set realistic goals and practices the tools she offers alongside them.
She believes healing involves mind and body and supports clients as they try new ways of managing hard days. People who choose Michele can expect straightforward, empathetic care from a clinician who blends evidence-informed methods with a caring, down-to-earth style.

Online support
How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to notice those patterns and try new ways of connecting and responding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. In remote sessions clients and the therapist review ideas, set small homework tasks, and track progress between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Therapists can teach skills, practice them in session, and support quick check-ins between appointments to reinforce learning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then recommend paths to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.
Online formats offer flexibility: video calls for full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text messaging for brief check-ins or mood tracking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
