About Alexa

Alexa Sorensen is a Michigan-licensed therapist with 13 years of clinical experience who takes a respectful, sensitive approach to therapy. She practices from a person-first perspective, adapting conversation and therapeutic methods to meet each individual’s needs while emphasizing empathy and collaboration. LMSW stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, which reflects her graduate-level social work training and state licensure.

She specializes in relationships, LGBTQ+ concerns, non-monogamy, and gender-related issues, and she also supports people working through grief and loss, stress and anxiety, career challenges, life transitions, and professional coaching. Her practice extends to a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting, intimacy-related matters, caregiver stress, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder. Alexa also addresses topics like attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment difficulties, body image, and alternative sexual cultures when relevant.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and she acknowledges the courage involved in taking that step. Alexa aims to create an adaptive, compassionate space to understand each person’s priorities and goals, and she looks forward to exploring how best to support an individual’s growth and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Alexa Sorensen draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her practice. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility so they can take meaningful action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings; it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, making it useful for intimacy, attachment concerns, and relationship difficulties. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist and client will adapt strategies over time to ensure a good fit and practical progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while preserving the same therapeutic focus and collaborative planning used in traditional sessions.
