About Michelle
Michelle Bohmert is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with ten years of counseling experience. She creates a calm, practical space for people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with addiction, or facing relationship problems. Michelle speaks plainly and focuses on what matters now, helping people take small steps that add up to real change.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's goals and pace. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and solution-oriented, with attention to coping skills, communication, and managing emotions. Michelle also works with people around codependency, addiction concerns, sexuality, and social anxiety.
Her background includes substantial clinical time supporting people through life transitions, grief, and issues that affect self-esteem and mood. That experience shaped a practical style that mixes skills practice with honest conversation. Michelle helps people sort out guilt, shame, and behaviors they want to change.
Outside of therapy, she values family time and simple routines like cooking or being near the water. That same focus on everyday balance shows up in her approach to care. If someone is looking for straightforward, steady support, Michelle helps them set manageable goals and build toward them step by step.
To begin, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist scheduling.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Michelle uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and measurable change. One approach emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-management tools that help reduce overwhelm. Another approach focuses on behaviors and patterns around addiction and codependency, helping people identify triggers, set boundaries, and replace harmful habits with healthier routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and daily demands, then try methods that fit their needs and rhythm. If an approach isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan together with the client until it fits better.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or between obligations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when people need brief support, or sessions without video when bandwidth or comfort is a concern. Confirm the specific session formats available when you schedule so you know how appointments will be arranged.
