About Alexa

Alexa St. Martin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Hawaii with three years of practice listed on this profile. She works with people facing relationship strains, trauma and abuse, identity questions, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her focus includes LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, grief, stress, and ADHD-related struggles.

She uses relationship-focused approaches to help people sort out emotional patterns and communication problems. Sessions involve talking through recent events, noticing recurring reactions, and trying small changes to see what helps. Gottman-influenced work can appear in couples-focused conversations about conflict and connection. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas guide conversations about personal stories and long-standing attachment patterns.

Alexa has worked across settings in Hawaii and brings that local experience into her practice. She frames problems in everyday terms and helps people translate insights into practical steps. That may mean practicing different ways to raise hard topics, pacing exposures to anxiety, or reshaping unhelpful self-narratives.

Her methods include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, the Gottman Method, Jungian and Narrative approaches. Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals like clearer communication, reducing panic symptoms, or managing grief reactions. She encourages gradual skill-building rather than quick fixes.

People who choose her often want a straightforward, relationship-aware clinician who pays attention to how past attachments affect current stress. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

BHow sessions work

How attachment, narrative, and client-centered work translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use that work to spot recurring hurtful cycles and practice new ways of connecting with partners or loved ones.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the conversation and follows their priorities. In remote sessions this means the therapist listens for what matters now and helps the client decide practical next steps, such as communication skills or coping techniques for anxiety.

The Gottman Method offers concrete tools for couples to manage conflict and rebuild trust. When used remotely these techniques are practiced in session and assigned as real-world exercises between meetings to track progress.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will review your goals and suggest which methods to try first, and will adjust the plan as you see what helps. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Session formats are not specified on this profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work, family, and health routines because they cut travel time and can be scheduled during shorter breaks. Others prefer longer, less frequent meetings to dig into attachment patterns. Discussing practical scheduling and format needs is part of the first appointment.
