About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship questions, LGBTQ concerns, grief, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with career challenges, parenting strain, ADHD, depression, and issues around intimacy and boundaries.
Alexa uses a person-centered approach that centers the client’s voice. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She adapts methods to fit each person rather than pushing a single technique.
Her clinical approach draws from cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and from acceptance-based work to clarify values and long-term goals. Attachment-based ideas are used when family patterns or early relationships keep showing up in adult life. Dialectical skills and emotion-focused strategies appear when people need tools for intense feelings and better emotional regulation.
Alexa often helps clients notice how family-of-origin patterns - roles, expectations, and closeness - shape current relationships. She talks with people about communication, commitment worries, codependency, and setting limits. She also addresses more specific concerns like kink and alternative sex culture without judgment.
Practical support is part of the work. Sessions can include coaching around career moves, problem-solving for parenting strain, and concrete skills for managing anger and anxiety. Alexa asks people to try things between sessions and then reviews what worked and what did not. This keeps progress focused and realistic.
How Alexa Uses Different Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions based on personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes when someone wants clearer goals and small, consistent steps.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that began in early family relationships. It helps people see how those patterns affect current intimacy, communication, and commitment worries. This approach is often used when family-of-origin issues keep repeating in adult relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical for depression, anxiety, and problems like anger or work-related stress where skills and homework can make a difference.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem to fit, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to use and when to try something different.
