Michelle Boodry

Michelle Boodry is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with trauma and relationship concerns, and she offers a direct, respectful approach that centers each person's strengths.

She emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own stories. Sessions invite practical steps and steady pacing so people can feel safer as they work through painful memories or current stresses. Michelle also addresses issues such as anger, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and motivation in straightforward terms.

Her background includes work with a broad range of life challenges, including grief, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and struggles around intimacy and boundaries. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, as one part of her work with trauma and distressing memories.

In session she encourages collaboration and clear goals. People can expect to map out small, doable steps and practice skills between meetings when that makes sense. The focus is on building coping tools and on reconnecting to what matters to each person.

Michelle invites prospective clients to recognize the courage it takes to begin. Her style is practical, empathetic, and focused on helping people move forward from difficult experiences.

EMDR and trauma-focused options for online care

Michelle uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, to help people process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional charge those memories carry. EMDR combines focused attention on memory targets with guided bilateral stimulation and can help when past events continue to cause distress.

The work also includes practical problem-solving for relationship strains, anger, and daily stress. That means identifying small, achievable goals and practicing coping skills between sessions to build confidence and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss EMDR and other ways of working and recommend a path based on each person’s history, goals, and preferences. People are invited to ask questions and try different techniques until they find what fits.

Session logistics are not listed in the profile, so confirm the available online formats before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The focus is on making therapy practical and workable for everyday life while addressing trauma and related concerns.
