About Alexa
Alexa St. Martin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people navigate anxiety, relationship strain, and life changes. She can be a good fit for someone dealing with panic attacks or struggling to manage stress and grief. Her tone is straightforward and warm, aiming to make the first steps feel manageable.
She draws on several therapy approaches to match the needs of each person. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and emotions, and on building tools to handle intense moments. Work often includes talking through attachment history, improving communication, and examining the stories people tell about themselves.
Alexa has three years of clinical experience in therapeutic settings across Hawaii. Her background includes supporting people facing trauma, identity questions, sexual and relationship concerns, and issues like body image, infertility, and separation. She aims to form a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and respected.
Practical work may include learning ways to reduce panic symptoms, improving connection with partners, and addressing shame or isolation. She uses gentle exploration of past experiences alongside concrete skills for managing tough moments. The goal is to help people make steady, manageable changes in daily life.
To begin, Alexa asks people to share their story and priorities so she can tailor sessions. She emphasizes a joint process - figuring out what helps and adjusting as needs evolve. That approach guides therapy whether addressing anxiety, relationship concerns, or coping after loss.
How attachment and narrative work translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connections, and helps people change how they relate to others and themselves. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's pace, creating space to name feelings and priorities. The Gottman Method brings practical skills for improving communication and resolving recurring conflicts in partnerships.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal style. That shared plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses to keep it useful and relevant.
