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, addictive behaviors, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Sessions cover practical coping skills and ways to manage strong emotions that interfere with daily life.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, develop new skills, and process difficult memories. That combination supports work on mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and impulsivity.
Michelle also addresses family and parenting concerns, blended family issues, and family of origin problems from the perspective of individual therapy. She offers help with eating concerns, intimacy-related issues, and problems tied to substance use. Other focuses include dissociation, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and disruptive mood patterns.
Language of sessions is English and her practice is based in California. Payment varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior through practical exercises. It helps with anxiety, mood issues, and learning new responses to common anger triggers.DBT teaches concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Those skills are useful when frustration escalates or when relationships are strained by anger.
EMDR supports processing traumatic memories that can underlie anger reactions. It is used when past events continue to shape current emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan fits practical needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is difficult, or avoid commuting. Therapists and licensed professionals use these formats to keep continuity of care and to make it simpler to practice skills between sessions.
