Michelle Boodry, LPC

Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings 11 years of experience supporting people through trauma, relationship struggles, and challenges with motivation and self-esteem. She meets clients where they are and emphasizes practical steps in therapy.

Michelle focuses on trauma and related concerns, and she uses approaches that help people process difficult memories. She also works with issues around intimacy, confidence, and life changes. Sessions emphasize clear goals and skills people can use between meetings.

Her style is direct and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on strengths. Michelle aims to make beginning therapy less overwhelming by offering straightforward next steps.

People come to her for a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and stress from caregiving or chronic health problems. She also supports those dealing with relationship conflict, infidelity, family of origin issues, and loneliness.

In sessions Michelle draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, among other approaches, to address trauma symptoms and stuck patterns. She helps clients set realistic goals, practice new behaviors, and track progress over time.

How EMDR and practical therapy can fit into online care

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, helps people process distressing memories by using guided attention while recalling the memory. It is often used for trauma, abuse, and memories that keep causing strong emotional reactions.

In addition to EMDR, Michelle emphasizes goal-driven work and habit-focused strategies. This means setting small, measurable steps, practicing new behaviors between sessions, and checking progress each week. That approach can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and difficulties with motivation or self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether EMDR, skill practice, or a mix of methods fits best. This choice depends on the goals, history, and what feels doable for the client, and it is decided together.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for consistent weekly work and for keeping momentum while practicing new habits between meetings.
