About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, social anxiety and phobia, mood disorders, trauma, and family and parenting concerns. Michelle works with adults and young adults to address practical problems and painful feelings that get in the way of daily life.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based methods during sessions. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, and EMDR when trauma memory processing is appropriate. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in her work to help people build steadier routines and find motivation for change.
In session she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. She talks through coping strategies and practices to use between meetings. Sessions include small skills practice, goal setting, and checking how new approaches feel in everyday situations.
Michelle trained and practices as a California LCSW and also holds licensure in Maine as an LCSW. Her approach comes from six years working with people facing addiction, grief, family conflict, and mood challenges. She draws on those cases to shape realistic steps clients can try outside the therapy hour.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Online CBT sessions usually involve reviewing recent situations, practicing new ways of thinking, and setting short exercises to try during the week. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and lowering reactivity; in sessions the therapist will introduce skills, role-play short exercises, and plan when to use them in real life. EMDR uses guided attention paired with memory processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories; when used, the therapist guides the process step by step and checks how memories feel afterward.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, the challenges they bring, and what methods feel manageable. Together they adjust the plan as progress and setbacks appear, mixing skills practice, thought work, and memory processing as needed.
Practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a weekday break or between errands, avoiding travel time, and making it easier to attend regular meetings. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current online options before booking. The focus online is the same as in person: working on clear steps, practicing skills between sessions, and checking what helps in everyday life.
