Michelle Boodry, LPC

Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and a focus on trauma and relationship concerns. She encourages clients to notice their own strengths and to take steady steps toward change. Beginning therapy can feel hard, and she acknowledges that first step as meaningful.

Her work centers on trauma care and relationship stress. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as one approach to address painful memories and their impact on daily life. She also helps people with self-esteem, motivation, intimacy-related concerns, and navigating grief or life changes.

Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Michelle listens for patterns that get in the way and helps clients try different ways of thinking and acting. She offers practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and anger, and for coping with change like separation, blended family challenges, or caregiving strain.

People who reach out often want clearer boundaries, more confidence, or relief from repeating relationship patterns. She supports work on jealousy, codependency, and recovering from infidelity or past abuse. Her approach blends trauma-focused work with problem solving to help clients move toward everyday improvements.

Michelle works with a range of concerns including mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, substance struggles, ADHD-related challenges, and career or parenting stress. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her Wisconsin LPC credential and local practice.

EMDR and trauma-informed approaches for online care

EMDR is an approach that helps people process upsetting memories and reduce the hold those memories have on daily life. It often involves guided bilateral stimulation while talking through specific memories to lessen their emotional intensity.

Alongside trauma-focused work, Michelle uses discussion-based and problem-solving techniques to address relationship stress, jealousy, and self-esteem. These methods focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing different ways of responding in real life.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying EMDR for trauma-related memories or using conversation and coaching for relationship and self-esteem goals.

Confirm the session formats before booking to know what is available for online work. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, avoid travel time, and schedule shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue care while managing caregiving duties, work demands, or health-related limitations.
