About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, and relationship problems. She uses practical strategies so daily life feels more manageable.
She writes in plain language and keeps sessions focused on concrete steps people can use right away. She approaches therapy with calm curiosity and respect. Sessions often begin by identifying what is most urgent and what can change sooner rather than later.
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
Background and approach
EMDR is part of her toolkit when trauma memories interfere with current life. Mindfulness practices are offered in short, simple exercises to reduce reactivity and increase focus. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change when habits or substance use get in the way.
Dr. Beaupre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in California with six years of clinical experience. Her background includes work with mood disorders, impulsivity, and family-of-origin concerns.
She pays attention to the whole context around a person, including blended family dynamics and young adult transitions. In sessions she aims to be direct and compassionate. She helps people set realistic goals, try small experiments between sessions, and track what helps.
The focus is on building skills that make everyday life easier and relationships more workable.
Online approaches that focus on skills and healing
Dr. Beaupre uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and test small changes that alter daily mood and functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles with focus, and many common problems.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT teaches clear skills for handling strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving relationships. When past trauma is disrupting present life, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to process distressing memories in a structured way.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. She works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face while staying at home; phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited; chat or text messaging allows quick check-ins or short skill coaching between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and keep care accessible across different daily routines.
