About Michelle
Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She focuses on trauma and related concerns and helps people begin the hard work of change in a clear, respectful way. Her approach emphasizes clients' strengths and their role as experts in their own story.
Michelle uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, when it fits a person's history and goals. She also offers practical support for relationship and intimacy issues, confidence and motivation, and common struggles like anxiety, depression, and stress. Conversations aim to be straightforward and goal-minded rather than full of jargon.
Sessions are paced to each person's needs. Michelle tends to blend structured techniques with listening and problem-solving. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and practice new ways of coping between visits.
People come to Michelle for a wide range of concerns including grief, addictions, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, codependency, and challenges tied to family of origin. She also supports those facing workplace stress, midlife transitions, and identity questions related to LGBT issues.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. New clients are guided through a simple intake process and matched to clear next steps. Michigan residents should confirm logistics before scheduling, and prospective clients are encouraged to complete the Start Therapy questionnaire to begin.
How EMDR and Practical Approaches Work Online
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method that helps people process traumatic memories in ways that can reduce their intensity. It usually combines focused memory work with guided bilateral stimulation and can be used for trauma, abuse, and disturbing memories.Alongside EMDR, Michelle offers structured conversations that address relationship patterns, motivation, self-esteem, and coping skills. Those sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, trying small behavioral changes, and building skills for daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to decide whether EMDR, skill-building, or a mix is best based on history, goals, and comfort. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions fit better into busy schedules, make it easier to attend regular appointments, and reduce travel time. Others appreciate that different formats let them choose shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what they need that week.
