About Alexa
Alexa St. Martin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Hawaii with three years of experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, family of origin issues, and a range of emotional struggles such as anxiety, depression, and grief. She also supports people exploring sexuality, gender questions, and non-monogamous relationship styles.
St. Martin draws on several therapy approaches to help people name patterns that started in childhood and still show up now. Sessions focus on understanding attachment and family roles, talking through relationship dynamics, and looking at personal narratives that shape behavior. She uses client-centered listening alongside techniques informed by attachment theory and relationship work.
People can expect conversations about communication, boundaries, and intimacy. Therapy can include looking at how early family expectations affect current choices. Work may address abandonment, shame, body image, and navigating complex sexual or relationship identities.
St. Martin integrates narrative and Jungian ideas when helpful, including exploring themes and stories people carry about themselves. With Gottman-informed methods she can help couples and partners practice clearer communication and repair patterns of conflict.
Her background includes work across Hawaii in different clinical settings with youth, couples, and families. That experience informs a practical style that aims to clarify what has been happening and what actions people might try next. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at closeness, trust, and how people relate to partners and family members. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what a person says so they can discover their own priorities and next steps. The Gottman Method offers practical communication exercises and conflict repair strategies that can be practiced between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps match attachment work, narrative exploration, or Gottman-informed skills to the person's immediate concerns.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as those options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. Some formats may be better for exercises that involve both partners, while others suit single-person sessions or brief coaching-style check-ins. Discussing session length and pacing at the first meeting helps align practical needs with therapeutic goals.
