About Michelle

Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and family and parenting concerns. She uses clear, practical methods to help people manage intense emotions and cope with life changes.

The opening focus is on safety, steady progress, and learning skills that work day to day. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused.

She aims to make steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming, and she prioritizes skills you can use between meetings.

Background and approach

Dr. Beaupre combines evidence-based techniques with an attention to each person’s story. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills and change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when addressing trauma-related symptoms. With six years of clinical experience and the LCSW credential, she practices in California and offers sessions in English. Work with her often includes building emotion regulation, reducing avoidance, and improving family interactions.

Practical tools, clear explanations, and steady support are central to how she works. People who reach out can expect straightforward guidance and a focus on small, concrete changes. The aim is not quick fixes but steady progress toward clearer thinking, calmer moments, and better ways to handle family and parenting demands.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Dr. Beaupre commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change how they feel. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and day-to-day coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with strong emotions and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and adjust as progress is made so the plan fits real life and changing needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. These options let people attend from home or between other responsibilities, and allow for flexible scheduling and follow-up. The range of formats supports different needs whether someone prefers talking face to face or checking in via text.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
