About Alexandra
Alexandra Boehm is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. She introduces herself as Alex and focuses on helping people untangle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family concerns. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making it easier to talk about difficult things.
Alex has worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings since earning her Master of Social Work in 2019. She draws on that practical experience when helping people who face mood disorders, fertility and infertility-related distress, trauma and abuse, or changes tied to caregiving and aging.
Background and approach
Her background gives her familiarity with many common life challenges. She uses a person-centered way of meeting people where they are. That means she listens first, respects each person’s story, and then helps identify small steps to try.
She also uses narrative ideas to look at how stories shape identity, and cognitive behavioral tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing techniques to build motivation for change. Alex aims to offer clear, practical tools that can be used between sessions as well as a calm space to talk.
She explains things plainly and works together with people to find approaches that fit their goals. People who reach out can expect a collaborative tone and steady support while they work through transitions, grief, challenges with intimacy, or professional strain. Alex believes change can begin with a single conversation and she focuses on realistic, manageable steps toward feeling better.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
How narrative and person-centered work translates online
Alex uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and the events in their lives. Together they notice patterns in those stories and consider alternative ways to describe painful experiences and strengths. Client-centered therapy is the other core approach she leans on, which emphasizes listening, acceptance, and meeting each person where they are to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used as needed, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Alex will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. She adapts methods over time, combining narrative, person-centered, and CBT ideas in a way that fits the client’s needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls are good when bandwidth is limited, chat offers a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working until the right fit is found.
