About Krystle

Krystle DuPree is a licensed social worker in Michigan who draws on cognitive behavioral principles alongside mindfulness and acceptance-based practices to help clients navigate life’s complex challenges.

Background and approach

With five years of professional experience, she focuses on issues that include addictions, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and concerns related to LGBT identity and discrimination.

Her approach emphasizes practical skills for coping with intense emotions like anger and compassion fatigue while addressing co-occurring concerns such as substance use and mental health conditions.

Krystle brings experience supporting people through difficult circumstances including domestic violence, isolation, matters of body image and sexual expression such as BDSM and polyamory, as well as financial stress and vocational questions. She centers the client’s own knowledge of their life story and builds on existing strengths to set achievable goals.

Krystle encourages those taking the first step toward therapy, offering collaborative, evidence-informed strategies to help clients move toward clearer values, healthier routines, and improved daily functioning.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Practical Tools

Krystle integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online practice. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic substance use. ACT complements this by helping clients clarify values, practice acceptance of difficult emotions, and commit to actions that align with what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Krystle collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and goals, combining skills training, mindfulness, and motivational techniques as appropriate so the plan reflects each person’s preferences and circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or other convenient locations while working together on practical, skills-based goals.
