About Alexandra
Alexandra Boehm is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with three years of clinical experience. She began her social work career after earning an MSW from Saginaw Valley State University in 2019 and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Alex helps people coping with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and family concerns, infertility-related stress, and other common struggles faced in early adulthood.
Her in-session style is client-centered. She listens first and aims to understand what matters to each person. From there she offers practical tools and perspectives to address day-to-day problems and recurring patterns. Sessions are meant to be a place to say hard things and to find ways forward that fit someone’s life.
Alex uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative and psychodynamic ideas to work through problems. That mix lets her focus on immediate coping skills while also looking at longer-term patterns and the stories people tell about themselves. She draws on clinical experience with grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, and caregiver stress.
She often supports people dealing with career changes, relationship conflict, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and major life transitions. Alex also works with issues like anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and complexities tied to family of origin or blended families. Her practice is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people manage symptoms and build daily habits that feel sustainable.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Alex often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Mindfulness work emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices to manage stress and reactivity.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and collaboration. That means the therapist and client decide together which approach or combination fits best based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. Figuring out the best fit is part of the early work in sessions and can change over time.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking since the profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. It can also allow people to try techniques like mindfulness exercises and CBT homework between sessions, making practice more practical for everyday life.
