About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen offers a calm, respectful approach for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or questions about identity and intimacy. She greets each person without judgment and adapts conversation to match what they need in the moment. Alexa encourages practical steps alongside honest reflection so people can move forward at their own pace.
Alexa is a licensed social worker - Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) - with 13 years of professional experience in Michigan.
Background and approach
She has supported people dealing with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, attention differences like ADHD, and the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse. She also helps those navigating LGBT issues, non-monogamy questions, and intimacy-related concerns. Her work draws from attachment-based ideas that look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and patterns.
She also uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing thoughts and emotion. Client-centered principles guide the pace and direction of every session. Sessions often focus on concrete skills - stress management, communication techniques, boundary setting, and emotion regulation.
Alexa can also support parenting stress, caregiver strain, and career-related decisions using coaching-style conversations when helpful. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She works in English and practices from Michigan, using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Attachment-informed and skill-focused therapy online
Alexa uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior, helping people notice patterns in connection, trust, and closeness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers straightforward tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Alexa works collaboratively to pick techniques that match a person's goals and comfort level, shifting methods as needs change. Sessions balance reflection about relationships with practical skill-building so people leave with tools they can use between meetings.
Online therapy with Alexa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls can be a shorter check-in or an easier option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging works for ongoing coaching-style support or quick skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules.
