About Michelle
Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and focuses on anxiety among other concerns. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages small steps toward change.
She often works with people coping with trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and low self-esteem. She also helps with stress, grief, sleep problems, addiction concerns, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar.
Background and approach
Michelle uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, as one tool in sessions. Her style is practical and strengths-focused. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and helps them build on what already works.
Sessions tend to center on clear goals and manageable steps rather than long, abstract talks. Michelle draws on over a decade of work with diverse concerns including caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and challenges tied to family of origin. She also supports people navigating career strain, midlife shifts, and the aftereffects of domestic violence.
Therapy sessions can include skill-building for anxiety and stress, processing traumatic memories with EMDR when appropriate, and practical strategies for improving sleep and daily routines. She aims to make the work feel attainable and relevant to daily life.
EMDR and Practical Online Care for Anxiety and Trauma
Michelle uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as a way to process distressing memories. EMDR sessions guide attention while a person recalls upsetting material to reduce the emotional charge and help them feel less stuck by past events.Alongside EMDR she focuses on goal-oriented work for anxiety and stress. That includes simple tools to manage panic, improve sleep, and set small behavioral steps that make daily life easier. She will discuss which approaches might fit your needs and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that match those priorities. If something isn’t helping, adjustments are made collaboratively so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when useful, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing exercises. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
