About Alexa

Alexa St. Martin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD-related challenges. She practices from Hawaii and aims to build a respectful, collaborative relationship with each person she meets.

She uses clear, practical conversation to understand what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on communication, connection, and coping skills that fit daily life. Alexa listens for patterns tied to attachment, family history, and personal meaning so she can tailor the pace and tools of therapy.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered care to prioritize the therapeutic relationship. She also integrates ideas from the Gottman Method and narrative and Jungian-informed perspectives when those lenses help make sense of difficult feelings or repeated conflicts. Alexa has three years of documented experience as an LCSW.

She has worked across settings in Hawaii and brings that local perspective to appointments. She emphasizes trust-building and collaborative goal-setting rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. People often come to her for help with intimacy-related issues, family of origin concerns, sexual identity and gender dysphoria matters, and stress that shows up as panic, avoidance, or low self-esteem.

In session she helps people name patterns, try new ways of relating, and practice skills between meetings. Her work suits those who want practical, relationship-focused therapy that connects everyday problems to deeper personal themes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape stress responses and closeness. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their relationships and practice new ways of connecting that reduce fear and distance.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist follows the client’s concerns, reflects what matters most, and helps people find their own solutions to stress, anxiety, and identity questions.

The Gottman Method offers concrete skills for improving communication and managing conflict. When couples or partners use these techniques in remote sessions, they can rehearse turn-taking, repairs, and problem-solving with a therapist's guidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexa will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing attachment-focused insight with client-centered pacing or practical Gottman skills depending on what emerges in early sessions.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face; phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into busy days; chat or text are useful for short check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help people keep appointments, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity when schedules change.
