About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Her sessions focus on practical strategies people can use between meetings. She listens for what is getting in the way day to day and helps create concrete steps to change those patterns. Michelle uses talk, skill practice, and structured exercises rather than long academic explanations.
She often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. She also uses EMDR methods when addressing trauma memories and dissociation.
Michelle pays attention to family of origin issues and blended family dynamics when those patterns affect present relationships. She works with concerns such as domestic violence histories, substance use, disruptive mood regulation, and young adult transitions in practical ways that reflect everyday life.
Her approach includes motivational interviewing to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change. Mindfulness techniques are offered as short, focused practices for managing stress and anxiety. She keeps explanations simple and assigns small exercises people can try between appointments.
Before booking, people should confirm current session options and ask any logistical questions. Sessions are conducted in English and her practice does not accept international clients.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. In online sessions this looks like reviewing situations, trying out alternative responses, and planning small experiments to do between meetings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and mood patterns. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions. In remote sessions a therapist guides skills practice such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation, then checks how those skills worked in daily life. This is useful for people who struggle with strong reactions or self-harm urges. Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. The therapist will help figure out which techniques match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is made. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please check current options when you schedule. Many people find that remote sessions help fit therapy into work, family, and school schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to practice skills between appointments.CAreas of focus
