About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre helps people facing stress and anxiety find clearer ways to cope. She also supports those dealing with depression, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship strain, and struggles with self-esteem.
Her style is warm and direct, focused on practical steps people can use right away. In sessions she listens for patterns that feed problems and then works with clients to change them. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to shift unhelpful thoughts and bring down intense emotions.
Background and approach
When trauma is a central concern, she may incorporate EMDR to process painful memories. Michelle is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in California. She has six years of clinical experience and draws on several evidence-based methods to meet different needs.
Motivation and small, realistic goals are part of how she measures progress. Her approach treats each person as an individual. Conversations are paced according to what someone can handle.
She aims to make therapy useful between sessions, with homework and skills people can try in daily life. People seeking help for anxiety, mood issues, addiction concerns, or life transitions will find an approach that blends skills training, mindful awareness, and trauma-focused work. Michelle helps clients build steadier routines, clearer boundaries, and better ways to cope with change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Beaupre commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR alongside mindfulness practices. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is used when past traumatic memories are causing current distress; it helps people process those memories so they interfere less with daily life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to help lower reactivity and bring clearer thinking.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each client about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then recommend methods that match those needs. Decisions about pacing and techniques are collaborative so people feel comfortable with each step.
Online therapy offers options to fit different routines. Video calls let visual cues guide the conversation and are good for skills demonstrations. Phone sessions are a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for short, frequent check-ins and make it easier to touch base between sessions. These formats increase flexibility for people balancing work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
