About Michelle
Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She focuses on trauma and relationships while also helping people with stress, anxiety, and parenting concerns. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aiming to meet people where they are and build on their strengths.
She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, to address traumatic memories and overwhelming experiences. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to what a person needs right now.
Background and approach
Michelle encourages clients to name concrete goals and work toward them at a steady pace. Michelle often helps people handle life transitions, grief, career stress, and struggles with motivation or self-esteem. She also supports those managing mood conditions such as depression and bipolar concerns, and people facing addiction or compassion fatigue.
Parenting is one of the areas she lists as a focus, and she helps parents talk through stress and parenting-related decisions. Her style is collaborative. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and pairs that perspective with therapeutic tools.
Appointments can include talk, problem-solving, coping skills, and paced EMDR when appropriate. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through online formats such as video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Michelle asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How EMDR and Online Care Can Help
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured approach that helps reduce the hold of distressing memories. It uses guided bilateral stimulation while a person recalls a troubling memory to help the brain process and lessen emotional intensity. This method is often used for trauma, abuse, and strong, recurring memories.In sessions Michelle pairs EMDR with conversational work and practical coping techniques. Conversations focus on current problems, coping skills, and clear goals. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether EMDR, skill-building, or a mix of both is the best fit based on needs and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier to fit into a busy day. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling and different ways to engage with a therapist, while still allowing licensed professionals to guide treatment and progress.
