Krystle DuPree , LMSW

Krystle DuPree is a Michigan-licensed therapist with five years of clinical experience who supports people navigating substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. She holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, and a CAADC-DP, a credential for advanced alcohol and drug counseling with a focus on dual diagnosis. Her background includes work with incarcerated women and other justice-involved individuals, and she brings experience addressing addictions, trauma and abuse, anger management, depression, and LGBTQ+ related concerns.

Krystle approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for strengths that can be applied to overcome current challenges. She has worked with clients facing complex, overlapping issues such as co-morbidity, mood disorders, and the long-term effects of prejudice and discrimination. Her practice also attends to relationship styles and sexual diversity, including polyamory, BDSM and kink, and other alternative sex cultures.

Starting therapy can require courage, and Krystle aims to meet people with practical support and respectful collaboration as they take that step toward change.

Online Therapeutic Approaches and How They Help

Krystle DuPree uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients work toward meaningful change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility - it can be useful for people struggling with persistent distress, avoidance, or patterns that limit their daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns affect coping and emotional safety, making it helpful for trauma, relationship difficulties, and issues rooted in attachment wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical, skills-based work, and is often applied for mood disorders, anxiety, and anger management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Krystle works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods to the individual rather than relying on a single model.

Online therapy with Krystle is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access care from home or other locations and allow clients to choose the format that supports their engagement and progress.
