About Michele
Michele Bowers is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She draws on six years of clinical work to help people who are stressed, anxious, or struggling with addiction and other life changes. Michele makes space for honest conversation and clear steps forward.
She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. Clients are invited to tell their story and name what matters to them. Michele listens without judgment and helps identify patterns that contribute to stress, low self-esteem, or relationship strain.
Background and approach
Michele uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and act in line with their values. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to build self-awareness and calm. Motivational interviewing supports people working through substance use or habit change.
Her experience includes work with addiction, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with anger, depression, parenting strain, and coping with major life transitions. Michele addresses specific topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems.
Sessions aim to blend listening, practical skill-building, and small, achievable goals. Michele helps clients build coping tools, strengthen relationships with themselves and others, and move toward clearer priorities. She works from Florida and offers services in English.
How Michele's approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when anxiety or difficult feelings show up. In practice this looks like setting clear personal goals and trying experiments between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood, often using short exercises and homework tasks. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the client's own insights to build confidence and self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods based on what feels useful over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for a more traditional session feel and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats make it easy to check in between appointments or have shorter touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain regular contact while working on anxiety, addiction, grief, or life transitions.
