About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen, LMSW, is licensed in Michigan and has 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, bipolar and depression, parenting concerns, grief and trauma, and matters related to LGBT identity and non-monogamy. Her stated approach is person-first and empathetic, adapting dialog and therapeutic methods to each person’s needs.
Sorensen uses a mix of practical, talk-based methods to address daily problems and longer-standing patterns. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions focus on clear skills, communication work, and examining patterns that cause distress.
She helps people manage life transitions, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, codependency, and the effects of trauma or abuse. Intimacy-related issues and questions about kink or alternative sexual culture are included in her focus areas.
Sorensen offers coaching-style work alongside clinical therapy when that fits a person’s goals. Her style centers on adapting methods and dialogue to the person in front of her. That can mean short-term skills work or deeper exploration of relationship patterns.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her Michigan licensure. People considering work with her are guided to a brief matching process and an initial scheduling step to begin.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and building actions that match those values. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and living with ongoing mood symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and anger issues.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing how they land, and adjusting plans based on what helps.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, focused skill practice, or regular weekly sessions that match day-to-day life. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication work, and skills coaching to an online setting so therapy fits practical needs.
