About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen is a licensed social worker who aims to make therapy feel manageable for people under stress. She greets clients with a calm, person-first approach and adapts conversations to each person’s situation. Her style is empathetic and straightforward, with an emphasis on practical steps and steady support.
Taking that first step is often hard, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to begin. She brings 13 years of professional experience and holds an LMSW, Licensed Master Social Worker, in Michigan.
Background and approach
She draws on several therapy methods to match what a client needs, rather than using a single checklist. Sessions focus on what feels most helpful in the moment, whether that is learning new skills, shifting patterns, or making space to grieve.
Alexa works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career transitions, trauma and abuse, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses topics like body image, attachment issues, codependency, and caregiving stress.
Her practical toolkit includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She mixes skill teaching with supportive listening so clients leave sessions with clear next steps. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged from Michigan.
Therapy can be scheduled using the platform’s matching and booking process, where clients complete a short questionnaire and pick times that work for them.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, life changes, and areas where people want more purpose in daily choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on practical skill work to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or stress through concrete techniques.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or as circumstances change.
Online therapy offers flexibility to connect from wherever people are. Sessions can happen over video calls or phone, and there are options for live chat or text-based messaging when brief check-ins or written practice make sense. This range of formats makes it easier to schedule regular sessions, follow through on skill practice, and stay connected during transitions or busy periods.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
