About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Beaupre is a licensed clinical social worker who helps parents and individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the strains that come with family life. She offers straightforward support for addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and mood challenges.
Her tone is calm and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps and steady guidance. In sessions she focuses on what’s happening now and on small, doable changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills and emotion regulation. She also draws on mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing when people need help finding internal motivation. Her background includes six years of clinical experience as an LCSW, licensed in California and Maine.
That experience includes work with trauma, post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and domestic violence, alongside family of origin and blended family concerns. She brings those perspectives into practical planning rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect sessions that combine skill building, reflective conversation, and goal-oriented tasks between meetings.
EMDR may be used for people processing traumatic memories, while behavioral strategies address impulsivity, ADHD-related struggles, or substance use patterns. Therapy conversations are collaborative. The focus is on helping people develop clearer routines, smoother family interactions, and better emotion management so everyday life feels more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life. It often focuses on behavior changes and simple skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or mood swings. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, with attention skills, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process disturbing memories so they feel less overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals, symptoms, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so the approach fits how you respond and what you want to change.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls let visual cues guide therapy and allow longer conversational sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when stepping away briefly from other obligations. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, and quick problem solving during stressful moments.
