About Michelle

Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma and relationship concerns and pays close attention to how sleep and rest affect daily life. She emphasizes small, practical steps and respects each person's knowledge of their own story.

Michelle uses a straightforward style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people name the problems they want to change. She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. Sleeping concerns and stress are addressed alongside these struggles because rest often shapes other areas of life.

Her training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which she draws on when trauma is part of someone's history. In conversation she will explain techniques and goals in plain language and invite questions about how an approach might feel. Michelle encourages pacing that fits each person's comfort level.

Clients can expect a collaborative process. Michelle highlights strengths and builds practical skills for coping with life changes, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and relationship conflict. She helps with career stress, ADHD-related challenges, and the emotional fallout of separation or infidelity.

Her manner is direct but supportive. She aims to make the work manageable and to help people find better sleep, steadier moods, and clearer next steps. To begin, readers choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How EMDR and practical approaches translate to online work

Michelle offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a clinical approach she uses when trauma is part of a person’s history; EMDR typically involves guided attention or bilateral stimulation while a person recalls distressing memories, with the goal of reducing emotional intensity around those memories. She pairs that with practical, skills-based support for anxiety, sleep problems, and relationship stress so callers can try small changes between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle discusses options with each person and decides together what feels most helpful given symptoms, goals, and comfort. That way the plan can shift if a technique does not fit or if priorities change.

The therapist biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options when you book. In general, online sessions can make scheduling easier, help people fit therapy into work or parenting routines, and reduce commute time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when life gets busy or let someone avoid camera use if that is more comfortable. Talk with Michelle about what will work best in your day-to-day life before your first meeting.
