About Michael

Michael Bohman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four decades of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and many life transitions.

Background and approach

He draws on long experience in mental health, substance abuse, domestic violence, and trauma work, combining practical problem solving with a person-centered focus. His background includes clinical supervision, program development, and training, all of which inform an integrated approach to care.

Over his career Bohman has helped clients address depression, bipolar concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, sleeping and eating difficulties, and challenges related to caregiving and chronic illness. He blends client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic perspectives to tailor therapy to each person's needs.

Practicing in Virginia, he offers services to a wide range of concerns while maintaining an emphasis on recovery, coping skills, and life purpose. His work aims to help clients strengthen coping, communication, and self-understanding so they can face change with greater resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michael Bohman draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that supports self-directed growth and helps people explore values, identity, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many coping challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. He works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adjusts methods over time so treatment stays relevant and practical. That collaborative stance helps clarify whether skills-based work, reflective exploration, or a blend of both will best support progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and levels of comfort. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage ongoing symptoms, or fit therapy into a busy routine while connecting with licensed professionals who tailor their approach to each client's situation.
