About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage strong emotions and difficult life moments. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship strain, grief, and anger.
Her focus includes attention-related concerns and mood challenges as well as trauma and recovery. She keeps sessions direct and practical. Michelle uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns.
She teaches breathing, grounding, and mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.
Background and approach
When trauma or painful memories are part of the problem, she uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to lessen the hold those memories have. For people with intense emotional swings or impulsive reactions, she draws on strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build distress tolerance and better emotion regulation.
Michelle also blends motivational interviewing to support change when addiction or lifestyle shifts are involved. She explains steps clearly and helps people set small, realistic goals that fit daily life. Sessions emphasize skills people can try between meetings.
She holds a Master level clinical social work license and has practiced for six years in California. Michelle speaks English and offers multiple online session formats, including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session that fits their needs.

Approaches that guide online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try concrete experiments to change them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, anger, and attention-related challenges.Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is helpful when emotions feel intense or reactions are impulsive. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps reduce the intensity of painful memories and the strong emotions tied to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest a mix of techniques. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and texting let people check in between meetings or use shorter reflections when talking in person is harder. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into daily life.
