Michelle Bohmert

Michelle Bohmert is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with ten years of clinical experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship strain. Michelle aims to make sessions straightforward and useful, so people can start making small changes right away.

Her background includes work in residential settings and a long history supporting people through addiction and trauma. That experience shaped a down-to-earth style focused on what helps in daily life. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs and pace.

In sessions, Michelle focuses on clear skills and honest conversation. She helps with anger, coping with life changes, self-esteem, depression, and communication problems. She also works with issues linked to codependency, process addictions, and social anxiety.

Michelle supports parents who are worn down by the demands of caregiving and people navigating sexuality or LGBT concerns. She helps those dealing with guilt, shame, or self-harm to find steadier ways of managing emotions. Sessions emphasize doable steps, not theory.

Outside work she prioritizes family time with her husband, their twins, and their dog. She enjoys being near water and cooking new recipes. That same balance shows up in her approach to therapy - practical, steady, and relational.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills, insight, and behavior change. One common approach she uses centers on skill-building for emotion regulation and coping - teaching straightforward tools to manage anger, anxiety, and cravings so people can handle hard moments more effectively. Another approach emphasizes improving communication and interaction patterns, which helps rebuild trust and reduce repeated conflict in relationships.

Finding the right way to work together is part of therapy. Michelle views treatment as a collaboration: she will listen to concerns, outline options, and adjust methods to match a person's goals and pace. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques feel most useful and practical for day-to-day life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can support continued progress between in-person visits and help people maintain consistency during life transitions. Ask about specific session options when you start the matching process so you know what will work best for your routine.
