About Alexa
Alexa St. Martin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Hawaii with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, along with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity-related stress. People come to her for help with intimacy, communication problems, grief, and navigating changes like separation or fertility struggles.
She uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered sessions, the Gottman Method, Jungian perspectives, and narrative therapy. In practice she listens to what matters most and helps clients name patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions typically involve talking through relationship dynamics, sorting out attachment and communication patterns, and developing clearer ways to express needs.
Her background includes work across settings in Hawaii supporting people with a range of family and relationship challenges. That experience informs a focus on connection, boundaries, and repairing ruptures in relationships. She also addresses concerns around BDSM, kink, gender dysphoria, and non-traditional relationship arrangements when those issues affect intimacy or trust.
Clients should expect a straightforward conversational approach. The therapist helps people identify small changes and steps they can try between sessions. She also attends to how past relationships shape present behavior, using narrative and Jungian ideas to help name recurring themes.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. Because formats were not specified in the biography, readers should confirm current session options before scheduling.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. It looks at how early bonds shape current needs and helps people shift repeating patterns that cause conflict or loneliness. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to what the client says. It helps people clarify their priorities, feel heard, and decide on practical next steps. The Gottman Method provides concrete tools for managing conflict and improving communication between partners, such as structured conversations and repair strategies.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful, trying different tools, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, shorten travel time, and allow for quick check-ins when needed. Some people use remote sessions to work through communication practice, process recent arguments, or update strategies between in-person meetings. Ask about available formats when you schedule to find a plan that fits your day-to-day life.
