About Michelle
Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people who are dealing with trauma, relationship struggles, and questions about intimacy. Michelle aims to make the first steps feel manageable and acknowledges that reaching out for help takes courage.
Her work centers on practical, goal-oriented sessions. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma work and pairs that with conversation and coaching when clients need help with motivation, self-esteem, or confidence.
How Michelle works
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at skills people can use between meetings. Michelle supports people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, and stress from life changes. She also helps those coping with grief, sleep problems, addiction, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and separation or divorce concerns. People also come to her for help with family of origin issues, infidelity, jealousy, isolation, and midlife transitions. She works with clients on both emotional symptoms and practical challenges like parenting strain and career questions.
Michelle emphasizes that the client is the expert on their life and draws on that knowledge in each session. Her approach is respectful and collaborative. She listens, offers tools tailored to each person, and checks in about progress regularly.
The goal is steady steps forward, not overnight fixes.

Online support options
EMDR and Practical Approaches for Online Care
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation while the person recalls distressing memories; it can reduce the intensity of painful memories and related symptoms. Michelle applies EMDR when trauma is a central concern and when processing past events is an important step toward feeling better.Alongside EMDR she uses coaching-style conversation and skill-building to address stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship questions. Those sessions focus on concrete tools - like breathing techniques, thought reframing, and behavioral steps - that people can use between meetings to notice real change.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s pace and comfort. Progress is revisited regularly and the plan is adjusted as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls provide face-to-face time for deeper processing and EMDR work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send messages between sessions and get quick support without being on camera. These options help therapy fit into busy days and different life situations.
