Krystle DuPree , LMSW

Krystle DuPree is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with five years of professional experience. She brings focused experience supporting people facing substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, as well as those dealing with trauma, abuse, and anger management. Her practice also addresses depression, mood disorders, and issues common to LGBTQ+ individuals, including related identity and relationship concerns.

Krystle has worked with incarcerated women and other justice-involved people, which informs a practical, rights-aware approach to care. She emphasizes the strengths and expertise each person brings to their own story, helping them build on those resources to meet challenges and move toward goals. Krystle encourages taking the first step toward support and recognizes the courage it takes to begin the process. In sessions she draws on evidence-informed methods to tailor treatment to individual needs and life circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Krystle DuPree integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her practice, adapting these methods to fit each person she works with. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings rather than getting stuck by them. This approach can be useful for mood disorders, anxiety, and substance use challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early connection experiences, helping people understand how those patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses. It can be especially helpful for trauma, intimacy concerns, and relational difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, supporting work on depression, anger, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Krystle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy or geographically dispersed lives and to maintain consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists when needed.
