About Krystle
Krystle DuPree is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. She brings five years of professional experience helping people facing addiction, trauma, mood challenges, and related concerns. She emphasizes a respectful, strengths-based approach that centers the person's own goals and choices.
Krystle has clinical experience supporting people coping with substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. She has worked with incarcerated women and other justice-involved individuals, and she also addresses depression, anger, and the stress that comes from caregiving and burnout. Her background includes work with LGBTQ issues and trauma recovery.
In sessions she aims to listen first and help clients identify what matters most to them. She uses motivational interviewing to support change that feels realistic, and blends approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to build practical skills. Mindfulness and attachment-informed ideas also shape her style.
Krystle frames therapy as a collaborative process. She encourages clients to notice strengths already present and to set small, achievable steps toward their goals. She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and meets people where they are.
Her work also touches on body image, non-monogamous relationship concerns, financial strain, post-traumatic stress, and multicultural stressors. People who want straightforward, goal-focused conversations about recovery and emotional coping may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Krystle commonly uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and to set small, manageable goals. This approach focuses on listening, drawing out a person's own motivations, and shaping steps that feel doable.
She also applies acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to build concrete coping skills for mood and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Krystle collaborates with each person to test strategies and decide what feels most useful. She adapts methods based on the client's goals, life demands, and the pace that feels comfortable.
