About Alexa

Alexa Sorensen is a Michigan-licensed LMSW who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and relationship and identity concerns. She brings 13 years of clinical experience and a compassionate, person-first style that emphasizes adapting the conversation and tools to each client's circumstances.

Background and approach

Alexa centers respect and sensitivity in her work and encourages clients to recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy. Her approach blends evidence-based methods to address grief, trauma, career and life transitions, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related struggles.

She uses flexible strategies drawn from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive and dialectical techniques, attachment-informed perspectives, and client-centered principles to meet practical goals while exploring underlying patterns. Alexa offers support around a wide range of issues including bipolar disorder, parenting stress, anger, and a variety of relational and identity topics.

She welcomes inquiries from people in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building willingness to experience difficult emotions while taking meaningful action; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skills training, which can address mood concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods feel most helpful, combining techniques as needed to match goals, preferences, and the particular issues presented. This helps create a tailored plan rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care through life changes and busy routines, while allowing therapists to apply ACT and CBT tools in real time or through messages and exercises between meetings.
