About Michelle

Michelle Boodry is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and brings that trauma-focused skill to work with people facing a range of concerns including relationship and intimacy difficulties, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

She emphasizes clients' existing strengths and treats them as the primary experts on their own lives while offering clinical tools to address painful memories, motivation, and confidence. Her approach balances evidence-informed intervention with practical coaching for life transitions, career stress, caregiving strain, and grief.

Michelle also works with complex family and relational patterns such as blended family issues, infidelity, codependency, and family of origin dynamics. She aims to help clients move through challenges like chronic illness, isolation, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue while fostering greater self-esteem and coping skills.

New clients are invited to begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to her availability. Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to accommodate different needs and lifestyles.

Online Trauma-Informed Care and Practical Supports

Michelle uses EMDR as a core trauma-focused method, a structured approach that helps the brain process distressing memories so they become less activating and disruptive. This technique is often applied when past experiences continue to affect current functioning, such as in trauma, complicated grief, or persistent anxiety.

In addition to EMDR, she integrates practical coaching and skills-based strategies to address life transitions, relationship strain, and issues like sleep disruption or compassion fatigue. These methods focus on building coping skills, improving motivation, and strengthening self-esteem to support day-to-day functioning alongside deeper trauma work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels tolerable and useful in therapy, adjusting techniques over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from different locations and schedules. These options help people continue consistent work on goals while balancing life demands and can be useful for maintaining momentum between more intensive sessions.
