About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a licensed clinical social worker who supports adults facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.
Background and approach
She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, and self-esteem difficulties, among other issues. With six years of clinical experience, she draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients develop clearer coping strategies and healthier patterns of relating.
Her practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with complementary approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness practices, narrative work, and motivational interviewing. These tools are used to address symptoms, unpack patterns rooted in family of origin and life transitions, and support recovery from substance-related and impulse-driven problems.
Michelle’s style emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration as she guides clients through steps toward emotional regulation, trauma processing, and improved interpersonal functioning. Licensed in California as an LCSW, she frames treatment around each person’s strengths and values, helping clients build practical skills and make decisions that fit their goals and daily lives.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it uses practical exercises and skill-building to support everyday functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge through structured phases of reprocessing. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend methods or a combination of techniques that fit the situation. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on how well the chosen strategies are helping the client progress.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use formats that feel most comfortable for the client while working through symptoms, trauma recovery, or behavior change.
