About Krystle
Krystle DuPree is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and challenges related to sexual identity. Krystle also helps with career concerns and questions about life purpose.
She has experience supporting people with substance use and co-occurring mental health issues. She has worked with justice-involved women and people navigating the legal system. Her background includes helping clients manage mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Krystle uses practical, conversational methods in sessions. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and find what matters next. Mindfulness and attachment-informed ideas also show up in her work when they fit a client's concerns.
In the room she focuses on concrete goals and steps. That can look like developing coping strategies for cravings, practicing new ways of responding to anger, or working through shame related to body image or kink communities. She helps people sort career questions and consider values that inform life purpose decisions.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect five years of clinical practice in Michigan. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The therapist keeps language straightforward and practical throughout the process.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to help someone decide what matters next and build consistent steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new responses. In video or phone conversations CBT work often includes specific behavioral experiments and homework to try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It can be used early on to strengthen motivation for addressing addiction, career moves, or lifestyle changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions about what to emphasize are reviewed and adjusted as progress and feedback become clear.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list explicit options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break or manage shorter check-ins when time is tight. It can also reduce travel and let people use tools like worksheets and screen-sharing during sessions. Confirm the available formats and scheduling details when you set up your first appointment.
