Meet Elise Dubois, LPC

Elise DuBois, LPC, NCC is a Michigan-based clinical supervisor and member of The Michigan LPC Supervisor team. A Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 6+ years of clinical experience and a thriving private practice since 2020, Elise brings both real-time clinical insight and a business-development perspective to her supervisory work. Elise provides individual supervision for Michigan LLPCs under the oversight of Elizabeth Carr, LPC, ACS — and is actively completing her own Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) credential hours under Elizabeth's direct supervision. All supervision hours completed with Elise are provided within The Michigan LPC Supervisor's ACS-credentialed practice framework.

Supervisor at The Michigan LPC Supervisor


Elise's supervision style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in where you actually are — not where a checklist says you should be. She uses a developmental model that honors the learning curve of early clinical work, moving with you through new skills and deepening understanding rather than pushing you faster than growth allows.

Sessions focus on your cases, your clinical identity, and your confidence — but also on the practical realities of being a new counselor. Because Elise is actively doing clinical work in her own private practice, her guidance is current, real, and connected to what the work actually feels like right now.

Her supervision focuses on:

  • Building clinical confidence through strengths-first feedback

  • Trauma-informed case consultation and ethical decision-making

  • Developing your authentic therapeutic voice

  • Understanding identity work and relational dynamics in the clinical space

  • Practical guidance on private practice if that's the direction you're headed

  • Promoting autonomy at every stage of your LLPC journey

What Supervision With Elise Looks Like

Who Elise Works Best With

Elise's individual supervision is designed for Michigan LLPCs who are serious about their development and want a supervisor who is actively in the clinical trenches alongside them. She works especially well with:

New graduates who want warm, developmental support as they find their footing in their first post-graduate clinical role.

LLPCs interested in private practice who want a supervisor who has built her own practice and can speak to both the clinical and business realities of that path.

LLPCs focused on trauma, identity, or relational work who want supervision that is grounded in those same areas of clinical expertise.
