About Kaitlin
Kaitlin Bowen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, and other mood or personality challenges.
She spent much of her career supporting people with co-occurring disorders in residential and outpatient settings. Recently she moved back to outpatient work to share skills and strategies outside of a rehab facility. Her practice often focuses on substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorders, with additional support for ADHD, grief, life changes, and stress management.
Kaitlin uses straightforward, skills-based methods. Sessions include cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful patterns and dialectical behavior strategies for regulating intense feelings. She blends those approaches with client-centered care, solution-focused steps, motivational interviewing, and targeted EMDR when appropriate.
Her approach emphasizes teaching practical skills people can use day to day. She aims to be honest and direct while also offering respect and support. That combination helps clients build stronger coping, communication, and relapse-prevention skills.
Kaitlin wants clients to gain enough skill and confidence to rely less on therapy over time. She helps people work through problem areas like codependency, communication problems, grief, guilt and shame, and drug and alcohol addiction. Sessions focus on usable tools and clear next steps rather than jargon.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own goals. It helps people identify what matters to them and builds motivation to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions teach concrete tools to reduce unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors for problems like anxiety, anger, and depression.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based techniques can be practiced in session and used between meetings to lower reactivity and improve communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your situation and goals and help choose which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commutes, or allow a quick check-in during a break. Ask about the session options offered and which format will best match your schedule and goals.
