About Michelle
Michelle Boodry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma and relationship concerns and works with people facing anxiety, depression, and life changes. Her practice description highlights blended family issues among other areas of focus.
She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as one of her approaches for processing traumatic memories. Sessions aim to help people notice how past experiences affect current relationships and everyday life. She also addresses intimacy-related problems, self-esteem, and motivation in pragmatic ways.
Michelle views the person in therapy as the expert on their own life. Conversations center on identifying strengths and small steps that can reduce stress and improve functioning. She keeps language direct and practical so parents and stepparents can apply ideas between sessions.
Her background includes work with grief, addictions, ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and family-of-origin issues. She helps people sort through loyalty conflicts and the practical strains of new households. The focus is on coping strategies, clearer communication, and realistic problem solving.

How EMDR and focused approaches are used in online sessions
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured method that helps people process distressing memories. It uses guided attention and bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of past events and how those memories affect current feelings and relationships.Alongside EMDR, sessions often include problem-focused conversation about relationships, communication, and coping strategies. That work looks at patterns that interfere with intimacy, parenting roles, and blended household routines and then practises clearer ways to respond.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, history, and comfort with different methods, then suggest an approach to try. Progress is reviewed together and the plan is adjusted based on what is helpful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how the work will fit your life. Online sessions can make it easier to add brief check-ins, fit appointments into a workday, or avoid travel time. They can also let people continue EMDR-style processing without needing to be in the same office as the therapist. If you want to know which formats are offered, check the therapist's online options before scheduling.
