Krystle DuPree , LMSW

Krystle DuPree is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. She brings five years of clinical experience supporting people facing addiction, trauma, mood challenges, and LGBTQ concerns. Krystle emphasizes respect for each person's story and strengths when clients take the step to seek help.

Krystle uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She helps clients manage substance use and co-occurring mental health issues by breaking problems into manageable steps. Sessions often focus on coping skills, emotion regulation, and real-life problem solving that clients can use between meetings.

She has worked with people impacted by incarceration and justice involvement, and with those navigating depression, anger, and trauma. Krystle also supports people dealing with body image, shame, relationship structures such as polyamory, and aspects of sexual expression including kink and BDSM culture. Her experience includes working with concerns related to HIV and multicultural stressors.

In therapy Krystle encourages a collaborative approach. She listens for each person’s values and goals and uses methods like acceptance, mindfulness, and motivation to guide change. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with practical tools to try between appointments.

Krystle offers care via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the therapist’s availability through the matching process on the site.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking concrete steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with depression, anxiety, and relapse prevention.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses small experiments and practice to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for mood disorders, anger, and coping with trauma.

Krystle will work collaboratively to find the best approach based on each person's goals and preferences. She listens to what matters to the client, tries methods that fit their needs, and adjusts the plan over time so therapy feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, updates between sessions, or ongoing reflection after appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
