About Michele
Michele Bowen, LMSW, LCSW, brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice in Michigan. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Michele aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental setting where clients can talk through painful memories and find practical ways forward.
Michele draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. She also integrates EMDR to address trauma-related symptoms when appropriate. Her background includes long experience in behavioral health across multiple roles since the 1990s.
That history shapes a broad view of recovery that includes emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Michele emphasizes skill-building and small, achievable steps toward goals. In sessions she often blends mindfulness and DBT skills to help manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity.
She may introduce grounding exercises, breathing techniques, or gentle movement for people who find somatic practices helpful. The pace and mix of methods are guided by each person’s comfort and needs. Michele works with people who want a practical, steady approach to change.
She supports clients as they build resilience, repair ruptured trust, cope with loss, and work to live with greater calm and purpose.

Online support
How Michele blends proven methods in online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current trust, closeness, and emotional safety. It can help when worries about abandonment, attachment issues, or communication problems affect daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, guides people to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. It is often used for anxiety, mood struggles, panic, and habits that get in the way of functioning. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma is a central concern.Michele takes a collaborative approach to choosing methods. She will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest a mix of approaches. Together they adjust the plan over time so the work fits changing needs and produces practical gains.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls are useful for deeper, face-to-face work and when visual cues help progress. Phone sessions can be easier when someone has low bandwidth or needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for ongoing coaching, brief check-ins, or to support skills practice between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
