About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and focuses on practical conversation.
Sessions center on listening, making sense of hard moments, and finding small, doable changes. Alexa emphasizes a person-first style that responds to how someone prefers to work.
Background and approach
Her practice includes help for stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports people navigating grief, trauma, career changes, relationship and intimacy questions, and LGBT and gender concerns. Coaching-style work and assistance with parenting stress are part of her offerings.
Alexa uses a mix of approaches to meet different goals. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and choices. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot patterns that get in the way.
Emotionally focused and attachment-based strategies guide work around closeness and trust. Clients can expect straightforward talk, collaborative planning, and homework when useful. Alexa works by matching techniques to what each client needs rather than following a single method.
She practices in Michigan and holds an MI LMSW credential.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful when someone feels stuck by stress, anxiety, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related tasks. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people change how they connect with others, which supports work on intimacy, trust, and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then blend methods to match those goals. This collaborative process means techniques can shift as needs change, and clients help decide what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy or unpredictable schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get support between sessions or to fit therapy into a break at work. These formats support consistent progress while accommodating different communication styles and daily demands.
