About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen is a Michigan-based licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She meets clients with empathy and a person-first approach.
Background and approach
Alexa aims to adapt conversations and methods to each person's needs so therapy fits their situation. With 13 years of professional experience, Alexa brings steady practical help for relationship concerns, intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, and career stress.
She also supports people navigating ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and anger. She works with LGBTQ and gender-related questions and can discuss non-monogamy and kink in a respectful way.
Her work focuses on clear conversation and useful skills rather than jargon. She uses approaches such as the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at bonding and trust.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques are also part of her toolkit. Sessions are practical.
Expect to talk about what’s happening now, learn small strategies to cope, and set steps you can try between meetings. Alexa encourages clients to set the pace and bring goals they care about.
She offers spoken sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy flow.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Alexa often uses the Gottman Method to help people notice and change patterns that cause conflict and disconnection in close relationships; it focuses on communication habits and building positive interactions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people name their values and take manageable actions even when anxiety or difficult feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence; it looks at how early bonding and trust shape current relationship patterns and emotional responses.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, discuss options, and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. Together they will adjust techniques if something isn't helping and pick practical steps to use between sessions.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video works well for deeper conversations and seeing one another, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be quicker for check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or coaching-style nudges between meetings. These formats aim to make consistent care more accessible and flexible for different routines and needs.
