Alex Zegers, LCSW

About Alex

Alex Zegers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Olive Tree Family Practice, offering individual, family, and group therapy. She holds dual licensure and provides virtual therapy to clients in both North Carolina and Indiana. Before becoming a therapist, she spent three years as an Elementary School Teacher working with children from Kindergarten through Fifth Grade, and that background informs how naturally she connects with younger clients and their families. Her clinical experience spans the Department of Child Services, school-based services, home-based services, inpatient settings, and addiction treatment centers.

Her Approach

Alex's therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive-behavioral techniques, with elements of solution-focused and strengths-based perspectives woven in. She is working toward EMDR certification. What stands out about how she works is her view of therapy as a genuine partnership. Both parties have a voice in the room, and she takes that seriously. She creates a space built on safety, empathy, acceptance, and authenticity, and she is committed to making sure clients never feel alone in the process.

Her Mission

Alex sees people as lifelong learners, and that includes herself. She brings her knowledge into the room and actively learns from her clients in return, believing that the collaborative nature of good therapy is what makes real progress possible. Her goal is not just to help clients heal but to equip them to advocate for themselves and their own wellbeing long after the work is done.
