About Michelle

Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a licensed clinical social worker in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and addiction. She works with adults on relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, self-esteem, and everyday coping when life changes feel overwhelming.

Her style is warm and direct, aimed at making therapy understandable and useful right away. She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and EMDR to address difficult memories and painful patterns.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps for managing symptoms and on building skills for more stable mood and calmer reactions. Clients can expect clear explanations and collaborative planning about goals and next steps. Michelle draws on six years of clinical work and her California LCSW credential to guide conversations and treatment choices.

She also integrates motivational interviewing to help untangle substance use and readiness for change, and narrative techniques to help people reframe their stories. The aim is to meet each person where they are and move forward at a manageable pace. In sessions she breaks down techniques into small, doable practices clients can use between meetings.

She pays attention to family-of-origin issues and blended family dynamics when they matter to the concern at hand. Her approach is steady and practical, focused on helping people regain control over daily life. Therapy is available in English through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Michelle works with adults and young adults on a range of mood, behavioral, and relationship issues, tailoring methods to individual needs.

Approaches Michelle names

Online support

Approaches that translate to online work

CBT - Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings by teaching concrete skills and short exercises.

EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional hold. In online sessions this work is paced carefully and paired with grounding skills to manage strong reactions.

Mindfulness Therapy - Mindfulness adds simple attention training and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past attempts, and comfort with different techniques. Together they decide which methods to try, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection for skill teaching and EMDR procedures, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text can support shorter check-ins or ongoing skill coaching between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different life rhythms.
