About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen is a Michigan-based licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and major life changes. She uses a compassionate, person-first style and aims to meet people where they are. Alexa encourages small first steps and recognizes that starting therapy can feel difficult.
She draws on 13 years of experience to tailor conversations and tools to each person’s needs. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on what a person wants to change and how to get there.
Background and approach
Topics Alexa commonly addresses include grief and loss, career strain, parenting pressures, and identity and intimacy concerns. Her approach blends existential thinking with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work. That means conversations may look at values and meaning, skills for managing difficult feelings, and patterns that come from close relationships.
Cognitive strategies are also used to address unhelpful thoughts when useful. Alexa works with people exploring sexual and gender identity, non-monogamy, and LGBTQ concerns, and she offers support around trauma, abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and anger in straightforward ways that aim to restore daily functioning.
Sessions are available in English through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Alexa asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their needs.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Existential work focuses on questions of meaning, values, and choice. Online sessions can create space to talk through what matters most and the life directions someone is considering. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult feelings while taking action toward chosen values, using simple exercises that adapt well to video or text-based formats. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that developed in relationships and how they affect current closeness and trust; discussions and role-based exercises can be guided effectively over a call or chat.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client's goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust over time based on what helps. Clients and the therapist review what works and change strategies when needed, aiming for practical progress rather than one fixed method.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching or quick reflections. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, parenting schedules, or times when shorter contact is more helpful.
