About Michelle

Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma and on helping people who are struggling with relationships, intimacy, mood, and life transitions. Michelle speaks plainly in sessions and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Her work often centers on practical steps people can use right away. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges by building routines, improving sleep habits, and strengthening coping skills.

Background and approach

She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Michelle uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, for trauma-related memories and symptoms. She combines that approach with goal-focused conversations and coaching-style problem solving to help people move forward.

Sessions aim to be direct, steady, and oriented to real-life changes. People who prefer clear plans and tangible tools usually find her style helpful. Michelle works with concerns that include caregiver stress, blended family tensions, chronic illness and pain, codependency, dissociation, and midlife transitions.

She also addresses family-of-origin issues, infidelity, and separation challenges. Her language of work is English and she sees clients remotely across Wisconsin. Getting started is straightforward: select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Michelle encourages small first steps and meets people where they are.

EMDR and Practical Approaches Online

Michelle uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, to address trauma memories and the emotional responses that follow them. EMDR guides attention while processing upsetting memories so they become less activating and easier to manage over time.

Alongside EMDR, she offers goal-focused coaching and skills work that addresses sleep, stress management, ADHD-related organization, and coping strategies. These approaches break larger problems into manageable steps and teach tools people can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, try a method, and adapt based on results and client preference. The process is paced to match each person’s comfort and goals.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more direct interaction. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to find a rhythm that fits daily life and ongoing care.
