About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with six years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, relationship strain, grief, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. Sessions address everyday problems and deeper emotional patterns that make life harder to manage.
Her style is direct and practical. She uses evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills people can use between sessions. Mindfulness-based tools and motivational interviewing help when motivation is low or when someone wants to change habits around substance use or impulsivity.
Dr. Beaupre also draws on EMDR when trauma memories are interfering with daily life. She explains techniques clearly and works at a pace people can follow. Expect short-term skill building and work on underlying patterns when needed.
She has particular experience with family-of-origin issues, blended family challenges, and young adult concerns. Other focus areas include mood disorders, ADHD, post-traumatic stress, dissociation, self-harm, and domestic violence recovery. Her approach addresses both immediate coping and longer-term patterns that sustain problems.
Sessions are conducted in English and are intended for adults. International clients are not accepted. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Dr. Beaupre commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective alternatives; it is frequently used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help when strong emotions or impulsive reactions cause repeated problems.She also integrates EMDR for people whose trauma memories interfere with daily functioning. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories alongside guided attention or movement to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions and make memories easier to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That plan can change as therapy progresses and as different needs arise.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and remove travel time so people can focus on skills practice. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and tools to work well in remote appointments while prioritizing practical results.
