Michelle Boodry

Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She focuses on trauma and related concerns while helping people navigate relationship and intimacy issues. Michelle emphasizes clients' strengths and encourages small steps toward meaningful change.

She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, called EMDR, when appropriate for trauma work and processing difficult memories. In sessions she helps people name what feels hard, build coping skills, and practice new ways of relating. Conversations are direct and practical, with clear goals set together.

Michelle works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, grief, addiction, and stress. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and issues that relate to intellectual disability. Her approach includes addressing relationship patterns, codependency, infidelity, and family-of-origin difficulties.

Clients can expect care that focuses on what they want to change. Michelle aims to make sessions useful right away by offering strategies for sleep, coping with life transitions, and managing intense emotions like anger and jealousy. She also helps people work on career questions, motivation, and rebuilding self-esteem.

Beginning therapy is a step Michelle treats with respect and practical guidance. She invites people to share their goals and collaborates on a plan that fits day-to-day life and longer term healing.

EMDR and practical trauma work online

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and focuses on helping people process traumatic memories. It uses guided attention and attention shifts to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and support new, less upsetting associations. This method is often used for trauma, abuse, and other memory-related distress.

Alongside EMDR, Michelle emphasizes clear coping strategies for anxiety, sleep problems, stress, and emotion management. These approaches are about teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions to help with daily functioning and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative so plans can change as progress is made and new needs appear.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between other responsibilities. It can also make shorter, focused meetings possible when a full-length session is hard to schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt EMDR and practical coping work to remote formats when appropriate, and the therapist will discuss what will work best for each person.
