About Alexa
Alexa Sorensen is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. She speaks plainly and treats each person with respect and sensitivity. Her approach is warm and person-first, and she aims to meet people where they are.
Alexa works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people with relationship concerns, intimacy questions, career transitions, parenting strain, and identity matters related to LGBT experiences and gender.
Background and approach
She can assist with attention-related struggles and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder by helping clients manage symptoms and daily routines. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies. Sessions often involve identifying what matters most, noticing patterns that get in the way, and practicing new ways of responding in everyday life.
Alexa adapts conversations and techniques to each person's needs rather than following a single script. With 13 years of experience and an MI LMSW credential, she has worked across a range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, body image, and caregiving stress. She also supports people navigating divorce, separation, and nontraditional relationship structures.
Alexa offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She encourages people who are taking the first step toward therapy to complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift patterns in close relationships by tuning into emotions and creating new ways to connect; it can be useful when intimacy or attachment feels strained. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions even when difficult feelings are present, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current behavior and feelings, and it aims to increase security and trust in relationships and self-regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to shape the work so it fits their values and day-to-day life rather than fitting themselves to a fixed method.
Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler during a short break; live chat and text messaging support ongoing check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people access help in ways that match their routines and needs.
