About Alexandra

Alexandra Boehm is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. She earned her MSW from Saginaw Valley State University in 2019 and has worked in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings since then. Alex uses a person-centered style and focuses on practical support for everyday struggles.

Clients come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, mood concerns including bipolar, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. She also addresses relationship and family challenges, intimacy-related issues, infertility stress, caregiving strain, and compassion fatigue. Alex notes experience with trauma and abuse as part of her practice.

Her sessions emphasize listening first. She aims to provide a nonjudgmental space where people can say what’s hard and be heard. From that starting point she works with each person to identify clear, manageable steps to feel steadier day to day.

Alex draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. These approaches are used to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and make values-based changes in their lives.

She has three years of professional experience in the field and brings that background into practical, down-to-earth sessions. People who want direct support for life transitions, family-of-origin issues, infidelity, abandonment, or end-of-life concerns may find her approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. In online sessions this means the therapist will prioritize hearing what matters most to you and follow your lead when setting goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot thought patterns that increase stress or low mood and replace them with more helpful habits. Online CBT can include straightforward exercises and behavioral experiments you try between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve mood. These techniques can be introduced in short exercises during sessions and practiced daily on your own.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts tools and pacing based on what the client needs and how they respond.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can occur during a lunch break or between commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt materials and homework for remote use to keep momentum between sessions.
