About Michelle
Michelle Bohmert is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor practicing in Minnesota with ten years of experience. She focuses on issues that commonly affect people in early adulthood and beyond, including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, self-esteem, depression, sexuality, and young adult issues.
Michelle uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings and make concrete changes. Sessions are straightforward and goal-minded. She aims to help people improve communication, reduce harmful patterns, and build healthier coping skills.
Her work includes addiction-related concerns such as drug and alcohol addiction and process addictions like gambling or problematic pornography use. Michelle also supports those dealing with codependency, guilt and shame, self-harm, and social anxiety or phobia. She addresses family and parenting stresses from the perspective of an individual seeking change.
In therapy, she prefers a down-to-earth style that combines research-backed tools with real-life problem solving. That means setting small goals, trying practical strategies between sessions, and checking what works for each person. Sessions move at the client's pace while keeping focus on useful outcomes.
Michelle lives and practices in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English. If you want to see whether her approach fits your situation, follow the site steps to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Michelle works with practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at clear skills and behavioral change. One common approach focuses on learning specific coping skills for anxiety and stress - breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations - to reduce avoidance and build confidence. Another approach targets addictive behaviors by identifying triggers, creating alternative routines, and practicing relapse-prevention strategies to support more consistent choices.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michelle treats this as a collaborative process: she and the client review goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what is effective and manageable for the person’s life and preferences.
Practical benefits of doing this work online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, keeping appointments during school or work breaks, and using shorter check-ins if time is limited. The site asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule your first session, so confirm the specific session formats available before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy work with everyday life and on choosing methods that suit your needs rather than on any single technique.
