She speaks English and Spanish and works with people located in Michigan. Her approach centers on listening first and following the client’s lead. She draws on client-centered techniques to build trust and identify strengths.
Background and approach
From there she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused work to address painful thoughts and memories. Sessions may include skill building from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. Motivational interviewing helps people find reasons to change and stick with it.
Alexsa adapts methods to fit each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her background includes crisis stabilization and helping people process childhood trauma and long-standing relationship wounds. She aims to make the room feel grounded so people can tackle hard topics at a steady pace.
Many clients notice clearer thinking and better coping after applying practical skills between sessions. Starting therapy usually means setting a few short-term goals and working toward them step by step. Alexsa prefers a collaborative process where people decide what progress looks like.
She encourages straightforward talk, steady practice, and regular check-ins to track what helps most.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead to build trust and uncover strengths. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through priorities and set goals that feel manageable. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation and works well over video or phone when homework and practice are assigned.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and recommend a combination of methods. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made or as new challenges appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or follow-up between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life while using the therapist’s clinical methods to work toward clearer coping and steadier moods.
