Alexa Sorensen, LMSW

Alexa Sorensen is a licensed social worker who greets people with respect and sensitivity. She uses a person-first approach and adjusts conversations to fit each person's needs. Alexa aims to make the first steps of starting therapy feel more manageable and affirms that taking that step takes courage.

With 13 years of professional experience, Alexa practices in Michigan as an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker). She helps people with relationship concerns, LGBTQ matters, non-monogamy, and gender questions. She also supports people coping with grief and loss, stress and anxiety, career challenges, and major life changes.

Her work blends several practical methods to match what a person needs in the moment. Sessions often focus on learning skills to manage strong feelings, noticing patterns that get in the way, and testing small behavior changes between meetings. Alexa keeps the conversation grounded and clear so people can try new ways of handling problems.

Alexa also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, and compassion fatigue. She has experience with mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, and with attention-related challenges like ADHD. Additional areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, and communication problems.

People who choose Alexa can expect straightforward, empathetic sessions that emphasize practical steps and collaboration. She invites potential clients to share their goals so together they can decide how therapy should proceed.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonding styles affect current relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting when old patterns cause pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexa will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts sessions based on feedback so therapy stays practical and relevant to what matters most to the client.

Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. It also lets people join from different locations within the therapist's permitted region and keeps focus on applying tools in everyday life. If you have questions about how a session will be scheduled, ask when you complete the matching questionnaire.
