About Michelle
Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma and related concerns while helping people build confidence and motivation. Michelle centers clients' strengths and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
She commonly helps with relationship matters and intimacy-related issues, including self-esteem and confidence. Michelle also supports people facing anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar concerns, and the effects of grief or loss. Addictions, sleep problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue are also part of her practice focus.
Michelle uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma processing is helpful. When EMDR is not the right fit, she guides people toward other ways to work through painful memories and patterns. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person's comfort level.
Her additional focus areas include blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and family of origin problems. Michelle also addresses infidelity, jealousy, forgiveness, and midlife transitions.
Michelle aims for straightforward work in session. She listens, helps identify actionable steps, and practices skills people can use between meetings. The approach is practical and strengths-based, with the client’s goals guiding each plan.
How EMDR and practical approaches work online
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process distressing memories so those memories feel less overwhelming. Sessions use guided processing and bilateral stimulation to reduce the emotional charge tied to past events, and this can help with trauma, abuse, and related symptoms.When trauma processing isn’t the right next step, Michelle helps people build skills for stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. That work often includes identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new responses, and setting small achievable goals. Sessions are collaborative so the choice of approach fits the person’s needs and pace.
Finding the right way to work is part of therapy. Michelle will discuss options and help decide whether EMDR or another method is most useful. This planning happens together, based on goals, comfort, and progress.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as format options are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical needs. It can also allow shorter check-ins and reduce travel time, helping people keep consistent appointments while they work through difficult issues.
