About Alexander

Alexander Guzman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, depression, and the effects of life changes. He also addresses concerns such as attachment issues, body image, communication struggles, and questions about life purpose.

He uses a client-centered stance that treats the person as the expert on their own story. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and identifying strengths clients already have. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding momentum or clarifying next steps in work or relationships.

Alexander draws on existential and Jungian ideas to help people talk through meaning, identity, and feelings of emptiness after big changes. These approaches support conversations about values, purpose, and how past patterns shape current choices. The Gottman Method informs his work with communication problems and separation issues by looking at interaction habits and practical ways to change them.

Sessions are practical and conversational. People can expect straightforward questions, space to tell their story, and collaborative planning about small experiments or changes to try between meetings. He explains options and helps people weigh what feels manageable.

To begin, clients follow the site's process to match with him and schedule a first appointment. He offers sessions in English and does not take international clients at this time.

Approach and practical online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people clarify what matters to them and draw on their own strengths to make changes. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, identity, and life purpose and is useful when people feel empty or unsure after big changes. The Gottman Method examines communication patterns and practical interaction habits, which can help when couples or partners struggle to talk or separate more clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexander will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. He treats selecting methods as a collaborative decision and will adjust based on how sessions feel and what people want to try.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel time after work. Licensed professionals often use these options to help people keep therapy practical and consistent with daily life.
