About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with six years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, and family of origin issues. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, and changes that come with life transitions.
Her sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when emotion regulation or motivation are central concerns.
EMDR is part of her toolkit for people who want to address distressing memories that keep coming up. Sessions include concrete steps such as tracking thoughts, practicing grounding strategies, and rehearsing new ways of relating to difficult feelings.
She often works with young adults and individuals who are sorting out how their upbringing still shapes current choices. Conversation can cover family roles, expectations carried from childhood, and how those patterns show up in relationships and parenting. The focus is on making changes that fit day-to-day life.
Dr. Beaupre practices in California and conducts work in English. She blends structured therapy methods with practical coaching so clients leave with tools they can use between meetings.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that come from family expectations. DBT offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for strong emotions and impulsivity. EMDR works with targeted memory processing to reduce the hold of troubling memories and repetitive distressing images.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals, current struggles, and what feels manageable. Plans are adjusted over time as needs change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use tools like screen sharing for worksheets or guided exercises during a session, which can keep therapy focused and practical.
