About Alexa
Alexa St. Martin, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), holds a Hawaii LCSW license and has three years of practice. She helps people with relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, LGBT-related issues, stress and anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and life changes. She describes her work in client-centered terms and focuses on forming a strong therapeutic alliance.
Alexa uses several clinical approaches to guide sessions. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. Narrative therapy helps people reframe difficult stories about themselves. She also brings elements of the Gottman Method and Jungian-psychological perspectives when relevant.
Her style emphasizes listening and building trust so people can talk through painful topics. Sessions focus on concrete communication skills, exploring relationship patterns, and working through shame, guilt, or loss. She addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, fertility concerns, and family of origin problems.
Alexa has experience working across settings in Hawaii. Her background includes supporting people through divorce and separation, infidelity, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and kink or BDSM-related concerns. She also works with those coping with panic attacks, isolation, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters.
People meet her when they want to sort through relationship conflict, gender dysphoria questions, or challenges tied to parenting and family roles. She frames therapy as collaborative work focused on practical steps and clearer communication. Prospective clients should confirm session formats before booking.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of closeness and distance in relationships and how earlier bonds affect present connections. It can help people who notice repeating conflict or fear of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people talk through feelings and decide on next steps for themselves. Narrative Therapy invites people to separate from problem stories and to rewrite difficult parts of life in more adaptive ways.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to select or combine methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. Decisions about which approach to use evolve as trust and clarity build in sessions.
Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to determine the most practical way to meet and to ensure the approach aligns with goals.
