About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma recovery, addictions, and family and parenting concerns. She works with adults who are dealing with relationship strain, grief, changes at home, or problems coming from their family of origin.
Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people identify unhelpful patterns and learn different ways of reacting. She also draws on EMDR and mindfulness techniques for people working through trauma and intense emotions.
Michelle pays attention to how family roles and parenting responsibilities affect daily life. She helps people sort through blended family tensions, parenting strain, and the ripple effects of domestic violence or addiction in the household. She also supports people facing mood instability, impulsivity, or disruptive behavior concerns in young adults.
Her style mixes skills practice with narrative work. That means teaching coping skills, then looking at the stories people tell about themselves and their families. Sessions often include behavioral experiments, emotion regulation skills, and focused processing of past events when that fits.
She works in English and holds California LCSW credentials. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
The online work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and uses tasks between sessions to test new ways of responding. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge, which can help people with trauma and intense flashbacks.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as progress is made, with skills-based work or deeper processing added as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can assign practice tasks between meetings and use structured skills training to help people manage emotions and family stress more effectively.
