About Alexandra
Alexandra Boehm is a licensed master social worker practicing in Michigan. She uses a straightforward style and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Alexandra commonly goes by Alex and aims to make the first step feel simple and clear.

Background and approach
She brings that practical experience into conversations about everyday life struggles. Her sessions follow a person-centered approach that starts with where the client is now. She listens without judgment and helps people name what matters to them.
From that place she works with clients to build tools they can use between sessions. Alex also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, manageable changes. Mindfulness strategies are offered to help with overwhelming stress and anxiety symptoms.
Narrative approaches may be used to help people reframe difficult experiences and make sense of role changes like caregiving or separation. People who want calm, practical guidance tend to fit well with her style. She aims to offer clear steps and compassionate listening so clients can move forward at their own pace.
To begin, a simple matching process and scheduling step gets therapy started.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are, helping them feel heard and supported while deciding what to work on together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and encourages small experiments to change day-to-day reactions, which can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to reduce overwhelm and manage anxiety symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adapt methods so sessions fit the client's needs and pace, switching or combining techniques as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a longer conversation, phone can be helpful when bandwidth or movement is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing, brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping consistent support.
