Alexandra Boehm

Alexandra Boehm is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan. She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings since graduating with a Master of Social Work from Saginaw Valley State University in 2019. Alex brings three years of clinical experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship and family issues, infertility-related stress, and related life challenges.

She uses a person-centered style that starts by listening and meeting people where they are. Sessions focus on understanding what feels most urgent and practical right now. Alex aims to offer a calm space to say difficult things and to spot small, useful steps forward.

Her approach includes methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help manage difficult feelings. She also draws on narrative and motivational interviewing ideas to help people reframe experiences and find motivation for change. These tools are used alongside supportive talk so each plan matches the person in front of her.

Alex helps people work through anger, grief, low self-esteem, stress, and compassion fatigue, among other concerns. She also addresses areas like abandonment, caregiving strain, infertility stress, hospice and end-of-life challenges, and issues rooted in family of origin.

People who prefer straightforward, practical sessions tend to do well with her style. She encourages collaboration on goals and homework that fits into everyday life. To begin, clients use the site’s matching process and schedule sessions based on availability.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they help

Alex uses client-centered work that begins by prioritizing what matters to the person in the room. This approach focuses on listening and tailoring each session to the client’s immediate concerns, which can help when someone needs a compassionate place to process anger or grief.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers concrete exercises and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. They review what has helped before and adjust techniques as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing for appointments during work breaks or between other responsibilities. It can also make shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations simpler when that better suits someone’s day-to-day routine.
