About Michelle

Michelle Bohmert is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota. She brings ten years of counseling experience to her work and focuses on practical support for people facing relationship strain, addiction issues, stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Her approach is calm and down-to-earth.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful, with attention to what is happening in day-to-day life. Michelle listens for patterns that get in the way of connection and helps people try new ways of responding that feel manageable.

Background and approach

She often works with people dealing with codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behavior. She also supports those facing young adult transitions, social anxiety, and struggles with sexuality or self-harm urges. Michelle emphasizes small, realistic steps that fit into a person’s routine.

In relationship-focused work she uses research-informed techniques to address stuck patterns and improve communication and trust. For individual sessions she draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, matching methods to each person’s goals and pace. Michelle aims to be a steady presence while people try out new ways of relating and coping.

Outside of practice she values family time and simple routines like cooking and time by the water. Prospective clients who want to begin can use the site to start the matching process and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work and how it helps

Michelle uses practical, evidence-based techniques to address relationship patterns and individual struggles. One common thread is relationship-focused work that draws on research-informed methods to reduce repetitive conflict, rebuild trust, and improve communication. This work looks at specific interaction cycles and teaches new ways to respond that change how partners connect.

For individual concerns she relies on widely used evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage anxiety, depression, cravings, or compulsive behaviors. These approaches break problems into manageable steps, teach coping skills, and focus on small changes that fit into daily life. When addiction or process addiction is a concern, the work centers on identifying triggers, developing alternatives, and strengthening supports.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, strengths, and pace. That means adjusting techniques over time and checking in about what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people maintain continuity of care across life transitions. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or a video-free option when bandwidth is limited. Ask about the available formats when you start the matching questionnaire so scheduling can match your needs.
