Alexa St. Martin , LCSW

Alexa St. Martin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Hawaii who helps people facing relationship pain, identity questions, and life transitions. She focuses on women's concerns such as intimacy, body image, fertility stress, and gender-related questions, and supports people navigating grief, anxiety, and depression.

Alexa combines listening with practical conversation. Sessions offer a chance to talk through attachment worries, communication problems, and patterns that keep coming up in relationships. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current behavior and helps clients try new ways of relating and coping.

Her approach draws on client-centered principles so sessions are guided by each person's goals and pace. Narrative and Jungian ideas can help people make sense of their stories and values. She also uses the Gottman Method for clear skills-based work around communication and trust in partnerships.

With three years working as an LCSW, Alexa has practiced in a range of Hawaiian settings. That experience informs a practical style that balances empathy with concrete steps people can use between sessions. She aims to build a strong working relationship and to earn trust through respectful conversation.

People who come to Alexa often want help with intimacy-related issues, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, BDSM and kink questions, or the fallout of infidelity and abandonment. She also supports those coping with panic, ADHD-related concerns, and the stress of major life changes.

Therapeutic approaches for online relationship and identity work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect trust and intimacy now; it can help with abandonment fears, attachment concerns, and relationship distress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's goals and pace, offering nonjudgmental listening and support while clients decide what changes matter most. The Gottman Method provides concrete communication and conflict tools for partners, useful for addressing infidelity, trust repairs, and ongoing communication struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alexa will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or camera time is not wanted, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
