Alexa Sorensen

Alexa Sorensen is a licensed social worker who aims to make therapy approachable and practical. She meets people where they are and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. Many clients come to her for help with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and questions about gender and sexual identity. She often reassures people who are nervous about starting therapy and encourages small first steps.

With 13 years of professional work experience, Alexa draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when trauma or abuse are central concerns, and she also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to address how thoughts, values, and relationships affect daily life. Alexa favors a person-centered stance, so sessions are shaped around what the client most wants to work on.

In practical terms she helps people build coping skills, manage intense emotions, and navigate life transitions such as career change or relationship shifts. She also supports clients dealing with intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and caregiver burnout. Sessions include talking through problems, learning new ways to respond, and setting manageable goals.

Alexa holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, and practices in Michigan. Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, readers should use the platform’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

She emphasizes respect and sensitivity in every interaction and adapts therapeutic methods to fit each person’s situation. Alexa aims to be collaborative, practical, and steady throughout treatment.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Alexa uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address experiences of trauma and abuse, helping people talk through what happened and learn ways to reduce distress linked to those memories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-based actions rather than getting stuck on unhelpful thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationship patterns show up now and helps people create different ways of connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep and which to change as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on hectic days, and letting people join from wherever they are at the scheduled time. It can also allow a steady, ongoing relationship with a licensed professional while working on trauma, anxiety, relationship patterns, and everyday coping skills.
