She holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, a credential that reflects advanced clinical training in social work and counseling. Her practice emphasizes relationship work and LGBTQ+ concerns, including non-monogamy and gender-related issues, while also addressing grief and loss, stress and anxiety, career challenges, coping with life changes, and professional coaching.

She aims to create a supportive environment where people can explore goals, build coping strategies, and develop practical tools for daily life. Alexa looks forward to learning about each person she meets and to finding ways to best support their individual needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Alexa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in close relationships and how early experiences influence current connection and trust. It can support work on intimacy, communication, abandonment concerns, and relationship dynamics.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexa collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting techniques as the work progresses.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging increases flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
