Alexa Sorensen

Alexa Sorensen is a licensed social worker who aims to meet people where they are. She uses a calm, empathetic approach and adapts conversations and methods to each person’s needs. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and acknowledges that first step.

She has 13 years of clinical experience and holds an LMSW, which is a Licensed Master Social Worker. Based in Michigan, she has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and anger. She also supports those navigating career changes, LGBT and gender concerns, non-monogamy questions, and intimacy-related issues.

Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take steps that match what matters to them. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. She also leans on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to strengthen relationships with self and others.

Sessions focus on simple, usable tools and clear conversation. Goals are set together and revised as life changes. Alexa emphasizes listening first, then offering strategies that fit a person’s daily life.

People can expect a straightforward, respectful style that balances practical skill-building with attention to emotions. She invites prospective clients to describe their situation so together they can choose the next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

A few of the methods she commonly uses are described in plain terms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values, which can be useful for anger, stress, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, often by practicing simple skills between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build more predictable ways of relating to others and themselves.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments happen over time so therapy stays practical and relevant to everyday life.

If you plan to use online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Asking about session length, scheduling, and any technical needs helps make therapy fit into a busy routine. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial steps so the arrangement supports your goals.
