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, and related concerns. Kaitlin also supports those managing ADHD, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She has worked in both residential and outpatient settings, with a background in treating co-occurring disorders. Recently she moved back to outpatient care to share skills with people outside of rehabilitation facilities. That shift reflects her focus on practical skill-building and ongoing community support.

Kaitlin uses a mix of familiar, skills-based approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping techniques. She also uses client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and EMDR when trauma work is appropriate.

Sessions tend to emphasize clear skills and step-by-step practice. She aims to be direct when needed and supportive otherwise. The emphasis is on helping people gain tools they can use day to day to manage strong feelings, reduce harmful patterns, and handle life stressors more effectively.

Her stated goal is to help clients build enough skill and confidence to rely less on therapy over time. Kaitlin frames clients as capable people who can learn concrete strategies for better emotional regulation and healthier decision-making.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist reflects concerns and helps people name what matters most, which can make anger feel more understandable and manageable.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks anger down into moments you can change with specific skills, such as thought checks and behavioral experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful when feelings climb quickly.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not in the past. From there she adapts which techniques to use and what to practice between sessions.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins around work, fewer travel logistics, or ease of attending when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about session length and practical arrangements so sessions match everyday routines and goals.
