Alexa Sorensen , LMSW

Alexa Sorensen is a Michigan-based licensed social worker with 13 years of professional experience who approaches therapy with empathy and a person-first stance. As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), she adapts conversation and therapeutic methods to meet each person’s specific needs, honoring the courage it takes to begin work on personal concerns. She focuses on relationships, LGBTQ+ and gender-related matters, and non-monogamy, while also supporting people coping with grief and loss, stress and anxiety, career challenges, life transitions, and professional coaching.

In sessions she prioritizes sensitivity and respect, tailoring evidence-informed tools to fit an individual’s circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Her approach blends practical strategies with an understanding of identity and relational dynamics, aiming to help clients clarify goals, build coping skills, and navigate difficult changes. Alexa welcomes conversations about how she can support a person’s needs and works collaboratively to identify the best path forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Alexa Sorensen

Alexa Sorensen often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work, a practical approach that helps people clarify their values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed steps toward meaningful life goals. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections, communication, and intimacy, which can help clients working through relationship challenges, abandonment concerns, or attachment issues. In addition, her client-centered orientation emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so that therapy aligns with each person’s priorities and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works together with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows therapists and clients to adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexibility across formats such as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage childcare or work obligations, and maintain continuity during life transitions. These options can increase accessibility and support consistent engagement with licensed professionals and therapists.
