Alexandra Boehm , LMSW

Alexandra Boehm prefers to be called Alex and practices as a clinical social worker licensed in Michigan. She holds an MSW from Saginaw Valley State University and the credential LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker - a professional license that reflects graduate social work training and supervised clinical practice. Alex has worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, supporting people facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and family concerns, infertility-related stress, and similar challenges.

Her approach is grounded in person-centered care, meeting each individual where they are and building a therapeutic relationship that emphasizes understanding and respect. Alex creates space for clients to share difficult truths without judgment and collaborates with them to develop practical tools for managing emotions and life stressors outside of sessions. She draws on a range of clinical approaches to tailor treatment to each client’s needs, balancing empathy with goal-oriented strategies to address presenting problems.

Alex values the step it takes to reach out for support and aims to offer a warm, professional setting for exploration and growth. She welcomes questions from prospective clients and encourages those considering therapy to learn more about how her experience and style might fit their needs.

Approaches and Online Therapy with a Client-Centered Focus

Alex uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s perspective, offering a nonjudgmental space where clients are invited to lead the conversation and identify their goals. This approach is helpful for people seeking acceptance, validation, and clearer self-understanding as they navigate life challenges.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is effective for addressing problems like anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexandra collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so treatment remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility across formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can choose what works best for their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and to maintain momentum between sessions, especially during busy or transitional periods.
