About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen is a licensed social worker who offers a calm, respectful approach to therapy. She speaks plainly and listens first, adjusting conversations to match what each person needs. Taking that first step can feel hard, and she aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and welcoming.
Alexa has worked in the field for 13 years and practices in Michigan. She focuses on relationship concerns, LGBT and gender questions, and non-monogamy topics. She also helps people coping with grief, stress and anxiety, career changes, parenting pressures, and trauma or abuse.
Her style centers on the person in front of her. She uses several approaches to fit different problems, including acceptance-based work, attachment ideas, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral tools, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions tend to emphasize clear skills, values-based choices, and practical steps to handle daily life.
In sessions she will listen, reflect, and offer tools you can try between meetings. That might include noticing patterns in relationships, practicing new ways to handle strong emotions, or setting small goals that lead to change. She aims to tailor the methods to your goals rather than follow a single script.
People who choose to work with her often want steady, respectful help sorting complex feelings. She welcomes questions about how therapy will work and what a typical meeting looks like before you schedule.
How Alexa's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when life changes or stress make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and intimacy, which can be useful for relationship or intimacy-related issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying a strategy, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one method forever.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or evening appointments when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to practicing skills between meetings, which can be convenient to do from home. Licensed professionals can guide clients on what will work best for their situation and day-to-day routine.
