About Michelle
Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy challenges, mood concerns, anxiety, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses issues like caregiving stress, blended family dynamics, addiction, grief, and family of origin issues.
Michelle focuses on practical steps in sessions. She treats trauma using EMDR when appropriate and talks through relationship patterns, motivation, and confidence with clients. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented, concentrating on what people want to change and how they can do it.
Her background includes work across a range of life stressors, from chronic illness and caregiver strain to divorce and midlife transitions. She brings eleven years of experience to these concerns and uses approaches suited to each person’s needs. She does not work with international clients at this time and conducts sessions in English.
In practice she helps people recognize patterns from their family of origin and how those patterns affect current relationships and choices. That can mean examining expectations, roles, or communication habits learned in childhood and seeing which ones still matter now.
When people begin with her they complete an intake and discuss goals for therapy. From there she and the client decide whether EMDR or other methods will be helpful. The emphasis is on clear steps, real skills, and measurable changes over time.
How EMDR and focused approaches are used in online sessions
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that uses guided attention to help people process distressing memories and reduce their intensity. It is often used for people who have past events that continue to affect mood, relationships, or day-to-day functioning.Alongside EMDR, sessions may include practical, talk-based strategies to address relationship patterns, self-esteem, or coping with life changes. These approaches aim to identify unhelpful patterns from the past and build skills for clearer communication, emotion regulation, and problem solving.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review history, current goals, and preferences and then recommend whether EMDR or other methods seem most helpful. Clients are involved in deciding what to try and how to move forward.
The biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm the session options available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be adjusted for quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth when that helps someone keep appointments.
