About Michele
Michele Bowen is a licensed clinical social worker who centers therapy on attachment work and practical skills. She brings 20 years of experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and self-esteem. Michele aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most. Sessions combine listening with hands-on tools drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness exercises.
Background and approach
Michele also uses EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches when those fit a person’s needs. Her background includes many years in behavioral healthcare across different roles. That experience informs a flexible style that adapts to each person’s situation rather than forcing a single method.
Michele emphasizes mind-body connections and often brings somatic practices, meditation, or light yoga into sessions for people who want them. She helps people address complex issues such as dissociation, attachment wounds, caregiver stress, and co-occurring addiction and mood concerns. Michele also offers support for guilt, shame, isolation, and problems with communication or codependency.
Michele is licensed in Michigan and Indiana as a Licensed Master Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She works in English and offers a range of online session formats so people can choose what fits their life. The focus is on building strengths and practical skills that make daily life easier.

Online support
How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions help identify patterns from past relationships and practice new ways of connecting and expressing needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches small skills to change them. That can help with anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and stubborn worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills are practical and translate well to short coaching moments between sessions.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the work fits the person and not the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexibility that helps work stay consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions are useful if bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using attachment, CBT, or DBT tools effectively.
