About Michele
Michele Bowers is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She draws on six years of clinical experience to help people untangle stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and low self-esteem. Michele focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier in daily life.
She often helps people who are coping with ADHD, relationship challenges, parenting strain, and the fallout from trauma or abuse. Her work also includes support for those facing anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Michele pays attention to patterns such as codependency, attachment wounds, and problems with impulse control. Michele blends narrative approaches with acceptance and commitment work, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing, and client-centered care. In sessions she listens for the stories that shape how a person sees themselves and then looks for moments to shift those stories.
She uses concrete strategies and short exercises so people leave with a plan they can try between sessions. Clients describe practical goal-setting, clearer boundaries, and stronger coping skill use as common outcomes of her work. Michele also supports people exploring sexuality and kink with nonjudgmental conversation about safety and consent.
She treats addictions and related concerns with a focus on motivation and small, steady changes. Michele conducts therapy in English by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a brief matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to her availability.

Online session options
Narrative and Evidence-Based Tools for Online Support
Michele commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people unpack the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how past events and repeating themes shape current behavior and helps people rewrite unhelpful narratives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another strand she uses to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action on their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that fuel distress and to teach straightforward coping strategies for stress and anger.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele will listen to your goals, try different tools in sessions, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. She aims to combine story work with practical exercises so you can try new ways of responding between sessions and report back on what changed.
Online therapy with Michele is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break in a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep work moving toward tangible goals.
