About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship challenges, LGBTQ matters, grief, trauma and related issues. Alexa also supports people managing mood disorders, ADHD, career strain, and the practical effects of life change.
Her approach is person-centered and conversational. Sessions are built around what the client says matters most. She uses clear, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and emotion-focused work to address day-to-day problems and patterns that keep people stuck.
Alexa describes therapy as a collaborative effort. She listens for attachment patterns, recurring reactions to stress, and safety around intimacy. From there she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice new skills, and make choices that match their values.
She has experience with a broad range of concerns that include compassion fatigue, abandonment and attachment issues, body image, codependency, and challenges related to alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. Alexa also supports people coping with divorce, caregiving stress, and aging-related questions.
Sessions tend to focus on practical tools and real-life application. Clients can expect a mix of skill-building, reflective conversation, and planning for next steps. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Alexa’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values. It is useful for life transitions, anxiety, and motivation concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape reactions to stress and intimacy. It can help people who notice repeated relationship cycles or fear of closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises and behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around daily life stresses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferred ways of working, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is tracked.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or evening routine, keep brief check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid commuting time. It also lets a therapist use worksheets, in-session exercises, and real-time planning that move directly into daily life. The focus is on practical help that fits into the client’s schedule and goals.
