About Alexa
Alexa St. Martin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing relationship and identity concerns.
Background and approach
She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Parents and partners often come to her for help with communication, intimacy issues, and attachment struggles.
She blends practical conversation with deeper reflection. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent - easing panic, improving connection, or coping with life changes.
She uses approaches that pay attention to relationships and personal meaning, including the Gottman Method and attachment-based work. Alexa has practiced in Hawaii and brings three years of professional experience as an LCSW.
Her background includes work across community settings where she supported people through separation, fertility struggles, gender questions, and trauma. She is comfortable discussing kink, polyamory, and non-traditional relationship structures when those topics come up.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She listens to each person’s story and helps set clear, manageable goals.
Therapy can include talking, reflecting on past patterns, and learning new ways to communicate and cope. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session so the two of you can decide the best next steps together.
How relationship-focused therapy works online
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early connections shape current relationships and emotional reactions; it can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and improving bonding with partners. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication patterns and practical skills couples or partners can use to reduce conflict and rebuild trust. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, using empathic listening and reflection to help clarify goals and make choices that fit their life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexa will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then suggest which methods might be most helpful. Together they can try different ways of working and adjust the plan as progress and priorities become clearer.
Online sessions offer a range of formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn't needed, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, use less bandwidth when needed, or check in between sessions without arranging travel.
