About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. The profile also notes a focus on blended family issues and other family-related challenges.
She uses practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. That can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Sessions are aimed at helping people learn concrete skills, manage strong emotions, and make changes that fit daily life.
Michelle pays attention to how family history and current household arrangements affect day-to-day functioning. She helps people sort through loyalty conflicts, role confusion, and co-parenting tensions that often come with blended households. Conversations cover patterns of behavior, communication habits, and steps to reduce stress at home.
Therapy also addresses trauma, grief, substance-related concerns, and mood instability. When trauma is present, EMDR and mindfulness techniques may be part of the work to reduce disturbing memories and improve coping. DBT skills are used to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Clients can expect a straightforward, skills-oriented approach that mixes talking, practical exercises, and homework when useful. Sessions are in English and follow state licensure requirements for a California LCSW. For people considering therapy, the next step is to use the site's matching process and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include worksheets, behavioral experiments, and short between-session tasks to test new approaches to stress, anxiety, or relationship patterns.DBT teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. In remote sessions this can mean practicing grounding and breathing exercises together, role-playing difficult conversations, and reviewing skill use from the week.
EMDR targets distressing memories by combining focused recall with bilateral stimulation. When used online, the therapist guides the process step by step and helps the person track changes in memory and emotion over sessions.
Finding the right method is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches that match the client’s goals, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients decide which methods feel most useful and the pace of change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
