Michelle Boodry, LPC

Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with eleven years of experience. She focuses on trauma and related concerns while helping people navigate relationship and intimacy-related problems. Michelle emphasizes strengths and practical steps, and she encourages anyone starting therapy to notice the courage it takes to begin.

Her work centers on understanding what matters most to each person. Sessions look at how past experiences affect present behavior and relationships. She helps people build confidence, improve motivation, and manage anxiety or low mood through clear, step-by-step conversations.

Michelle uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as one helpful option when working with trauma. She draws on that alongside other approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. The focus is on what is useful now rather than labels or tests.

Clients bring concerns like stress, grief, sleep problems, addiction issues, or life transitions. Michelle also supports people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and relationship challenges such as infidelity or blended family stress. She frames these topics in everyday terms and offers practical tools people can try between sessions.

Conversations are collaborative and paced by the client. Michelle listens for strengths and small wins, then builds on what is already working. If you are unsure where to begin, she helps set clear first steps and realistic goals.

How EMDR and practical approaches translate to online work

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, involves tracking and processing distressing memories while noticing body sensations and thoughts. It is often used for trauma and can help reduce the intensity of upsetting memories over time.

Michelle pairs EMDR with practical, strengths-based conversation. That work focuses on small steps you can try between sessions to build confidence, manage anxiety, and improve relationships. These approaches are meant to be collaborative, with the therapist and client choosing what fits best for each situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Michelle will talk with you about your history, goals, and preferences and help choose methods that match your needs. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made together so you feel involved in shaping the work.

Confirm session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to keep continuity of care across life changes while working with licensed professionals who can adapt methods like EMDR for remote sessions.
