About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She uses a respectful, person-first approach and adapts conversations to each client's needs. She welcomes questions and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.

Background and approach
She also supports those navigating grief, career shifts, relationship and intimacy issues, and LGBT-related matters. Her work often includes practical tools for coping and clearer ways to communicate. Sessions may cover emotion regulation, behavior changes, and strategies to handle overwhelming moments.
She draws from approaches that emphasize values, thought patterns, and emotional bonds to tailor care to each person. A range of additional focus areas inform her perspective, including attachment concerns, codependency, body image, caregiving stress, and challenges around commitment or separation. Alexa is also experienced with topics in alternative sexual cultures and kink when those issues come up in therapy.
Alexa holds an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - in Michigan. She offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules and needs, and works with clients who prefer video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and emotion management
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to live with difficult feelings. ACT can help when anger, anxiety, or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits. CBT is often used to manage stress, intrusive thoughts, and mood fluctuations.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they can try strategies, review what works, and adjust the plan so it fits the client's life and pace.
Online therapy offers several flexible formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, busy days, or different routines while still using evidence-informed skills and conversation to address anger, relationships, and daily stressors.
