About Alexandra
Alexandra Boehm is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings since earning her Master of Social Work in 2019.

How Alex Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Alex blends motivational interviewing and client-centered listening to help people clarify what they want to change and why it matters. Motivational interviewing involves asking open questions, reflecting what you say, and helping you find your own reasons to try new steps. Client-centered therapy focuses on accepting your experience and following your priorities in the session.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors. CBT skills often involve identifying negative thinking patterns, testing them, and trying small behavioral experiments to shift mood and routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alex will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different strategies. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize motivational interviewing, CBT, mindfulness, or a mix of approaches.
If you want online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. The site’s Start Therapy process will guide you through a matching questionnaire and scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or let you meet without needing to be on camera. Many people find that therapy done this way still supports meaningful change. -
