Remote care with trauma-informed and skills-based methods
Michele provides online sessions that combine trauma-focused work and practical skills training. EMDR is offered as a structured method to help process distressing memories and related sensations. Sessions using this approach include guided bilateral stimulation and a focus on targeted memories, with careful pacing to match what each person can manage.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are used to build coping skills, reduce intense emotions, and reshape unhelpful thinking patterns. These approaches are practical and collaborative, involving behavioral exercises, emotion regulation strategies, and homework to support change between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are woven into this work to support present-moment awareness and body-centered regulation.
Online options include video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. Michele aims to work alongside clients, adapting methods and pace to what fits each person’s needs and goals.What is Michele Bowen's clinical experience?
