About Alexandra

Alexandra Boehm is a licensed master's level social worker in Michigan. She earned her Master of Social Work from Saginaw Valley State University and has practiced since 2019. Alexandra commonly goes by Alex and brings three years of clinical experience to her work.

Alex offers a calm, down-to-earth presence for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings.

Background and approach

That background informs how she listens and responds to life changes and mood challenges. Her style is person-centered. She starts by meeting someone where they are and prioritizes their perspective.

Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Together they look at what feels hard now and what small steps might help outside of sessions. Alex also uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness when they match a person's goals.

She may help identify patterns of thought, practice present-moment skills, or use conversations that reframe difficult stories. The aim is to build simple strategies that fit daily life. Parents and families seeking support for relationship strain, blended family questions, caregiving stress, fertility or end-of-life concerns may find her approach useful.

She works with issues like abandonment, attachment, infidelity, and caregiver burnout alongside general life transitions. Alex provides an accepting space without judgment and collaborates on practical next steps. If someone wants a friendly, straightforward therapist who listens closely and helps plan doable changes, Alex can be that partner.

How online approaches and tools are used

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist reflects what she hears, supports personal choice, and helps clients clarify their goals. This approach is helpful when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to talk through family or life stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Alexandra may help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small changes in daily habits. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra collaborates with each person to try methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust tools over time so the plan stays practical and aligned with what the client wants.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep continuity during life changes. Many people appreciate being able to use short messages or chat for check-ins, and video or phone for deeper conversation.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
