About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She also supports concerns like grief, anger, intimacy issues, self-esteem, and challenges related to ADHD. Dr. Beaupre practices in California and offers therapy in English.
She keeps sessions practical and grounded. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can try between visits. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills around mood, impulse control, and anxiety.
Her background combines six years of clinical experience with a respect for people’s values and life context. That means she listens for what matters to each person and tailors the work around those priorities. People can expect a steady, respectful approach rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Dr. Beaupre also works with issues tied to family history and blended family dynamics, and she addresses problems such as substance use, dissociation, post-traumatic stress, and disruptive mood concerns. She integrates mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people make sense of difficult memories and reactions.
If someone decides to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session timing is arranged based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online care
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people identify their own reasons for change. It uses open questions, reflective listening, and goal-focused conversation to increase readiness for action and often helps with addiction, ambivalence, and behavior change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers concrete strategies such as tracking patterns, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive behavior. It emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness useful for mood instability and impulsivity.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or an option that avoids travel time. It can also allow more flexible scheduling and consistent follow-up between visits, while the therapist and client monitor which ways of working feel most effective. -
