About Michelle

Michelle Bohmert is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with about 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, parenting pressures, and anger. Sessions are held in English and focus on practical steps people can use day to day.

Michelle uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques rather than jargon. She helps people break down persistent patterns like codependency, communication problems, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviors. The work often includes managing guilt, shame, and social anxiety as part of broader life stressors.

Her background includes many years supporting people through addiction and relationship difficulties in clinical settings. That experience informs a direct style that aims to reduce overwhelm and build clearer next steps. She also addresses young adult issues and LGBTQ concerns as part of individual care.

In sessions Michelle focuses on skills people can practice between meetings. That looks like clearer communication strategies, tools to handle strong emotions, and steps to reduce substance use or other compulsive behaviors. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Outside of work she spends time with family and enjoys low-key activities like baking and time at the lake. The approach is practical and steady, for people wanting to manage anger, rebuild trust in relationships, or get a handle on addictive behaviors.

How sessions work

Evidence-based tools and how they work online

Michelle uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach emphasizes practical coping skills for strong emotions and anger - teaching specific breathing, grounding, and communication strategies to reduce reactivity and restore calm in high-tension moments. This helps with snapping at loved ones or workplace frustration.

Another approach centers on addiction and compulsive behaviors, breaking cycles by identifying triggers, building alternative routines, and practicing relapse prevention steps. That work pairs well with clear behavioral goals and stepwise progress over time.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges. Sessions adapt as needs change rather than sticking to a single method.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer meeting from a quieter spot with video, while others opt for audio-only sessions to save bandwidth or to keep a check-in brief. Discussing goals and scheduling preferences helps match practical delivery to everyday life.
