About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, LGBT and gender-related issues, and stress and anxiety. Her work also addresses grief, career strain, and life transitions.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches to help people name and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and attachment. Alexa also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Sessions tend to be person-centered, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the client. She aims to adapt techniques to fit each situation rather than applying a single method. That includes supporting people through major life changes, relationship distress, and identity questions.
Alexa has experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, anger, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also works with issues like codependency, communication problems, abandonment, and care-giver stress. These areas often come together, and she helps clients sort priorities and next steps.
Her background includes over a decade of practice in Michigan. People who are considering therapy complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong feelings and how those feelings shape their connections with others. It’s often used when attachment patterns or difficult emotions make relationships feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters and taking committed action, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions when values feel unclear.These approaches are discussed and chosen together. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit current goals and preferences. That collaborative process looks at what the client wants to change and which tools are most useful right now.
Confirm the precise session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people join from locations that reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use different formats for different needs, and Alexa will help match the format to the client’s goals and day-to-day routine.
