About Alexandra

Alexandra Boehm is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan. She earned her Master of Social Work from Saginaw Valley State University and has practiced in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings since 2019. Alex commonly works with people facing depression, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship and family issues, and fertility-related distress.

She offers a person-centered way of working. Sessions begin with listening and understanding where someone is right now. Then she helps people name what matters, and together they build practical steps to try between meetings.

Alex uses straightforward, everyday language in sessions. She aims to give a different perspective than friends or family and to be someone outside a person’s usual circle to talk things through. This includes helping with grief, anger, self-esteem, trauma and intimacy-related concerns, as well as caregiver stress and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes work across hospital and community settings. That experience shapes how she supports people through life changes, hospice or end-of-life conversations, blended family issues, and first responder stress. She draws on cognitive tools, mindfulness, narrative reflection, and motivational conversations as needed.

People who prefer a warm, down-to-earth approach often find her style helpful. She encourages honest talk, practical goal-setting, and steady follow-through. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How Alex Uses Client-Centered Work and CBT Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story, name what matters, and choose the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful cycles. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, and then suggest approaches to try. This is a collaborative conversation where adjustments are made as needed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also support continuity of care when someone is managing medical appointments, caregiving duties, or other commitments. The therapist will help match approach and scheduling to practical needs so therapy fits into everyday routines.
