About Alexa
Alexa St. Martin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Hawaii who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, grief, and changes after life disruptions. She focuses on building a respectful working relationship so clients can tell their stories and find practical ways forward.
Alexa draws on several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also works with narrative and psychodynamic themes to help people name and reframe the stories they live by.
Her background includes several years working across Hawaii in a range of clinical settings. That experience informs a flexible style of work that adapts to different concerns, including intimacy issues, identity questions, ADHD, and coping after disasters or other large-scale stressors.
In sessions she focuses on clear communication, exploring relationship patterns, and practical steps people can try between meetings. Alexa also brings attention to how shame, abandonment, and family history affect self-esteem and connection.
People who choose her often want a therapist who listens closely and partners with them on realistic goals. She aims to help clients regain a sense of direction after major life changes and to reduce anxiety through steady, thoughtful conversation.
Approaches that inform online care and support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and closeness. It can be useful for people struggling with trust, abandonment fears, or repeating relationship patterns.Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is shared, and helps clients set their own goals and pace for change.
The Gottman Method provides concrete tools for improving communication and managing conflict in relationships. It focuses on practical skills couples can practice between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current needs rather than assuming one path up front.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since options are not listed here. Many people find remote work helpful because it can fit around busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in during a workday or between obligations. Online sessions can also allow a quieter or more focused space for therapy work without needing extra commuting time.
