Alexa Sorensen, LMSW

Alexa Sorensen is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are stressed, anxious, or facing relationship and identity questions. Her approach also addresses grief, trauma, parenting strains, career concerns, and patterns like codependency.

Alexa uses straightforward conversation to help people notice what matters to them and what keeps them stuck. She draws on therapy methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas to guide practical steps. Sessions focus on building skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and making choices that match personal values.

In sessions she listens to the problem and then offers tools to try between meetings. Those tools may include behavioral experiments, values clarification, and attention to how past attachment experiences shape current relationships. For people dealing with relationship boundaries or people-pleasing, she helps identify patterns and set doable next steps.

She also works with clients around sexual expression and alternative relationship styles, including kink and non-monogamy, and supports LGBT and gender-related concerns. Alexa pays attention to how caregiving burdens, burnout, and compassion fatigue affect day-to-day functioning and coping.

Practical matters such as grief, life transitions, and career decisions are addressed with concrete strategies. Alexa asks what the client wants to change, then helps map the first small moves toward that change. Her style emphasizes clarity, useful skills, and steady progress.
