Alexa Sorensen , LMSW

Alexa Sorensen is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. She brings a calm, person-first approach and adapts the conversation to each person's needs. Alexa uses clear language and steady support to help people take practical steps forward.

She has 13 years of clinical experience and practices as an LMSW - licensed master social worker - in Michigan. Her work includes support around LGBTQ concerns, non-monogamy and gender issues, plus common struggles like depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Alexa also helps with career stress, parenting strain, and life changes.

In sessions she blends several approaches to match what the person needs that day. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts, uses acceptance and commitment concepts to clarify values and action, and leans on attachment-based thinking to improve close relationships. Dialectical skills and a client-centered stance round out her toolbox.

She is comfortable talking about intimacy, body image, codependency, abandonment fears, and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. Alexa also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, aging-related concerns, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She does not work with international clients. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by clarifying what matters and building small steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexa will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That can mean combining tools from ACT, CBT, attachment work, or other skills so sessions match what helps most in everyday life.

Online therapy offers different ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and have full conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, share short updates, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and usable within work, family, and life commitments.
