Alexander Guzman

Alexander Guzman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, depression, and coping with life changes. He also addresses concerns such as attachment issues, body image, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness including 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, clarifying what matters now, and building on existing strengths. That can look like talking through career doubts, naming patterns that feed low self-worth, or practicing ways to manage anxiety in everyday life.

Alexander draws on existential ideas to help people look at meaning, responsibility, and choices when life feels unmoored. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore ambivalence and support small changes that feel doable. Jungian and narrative elements may come into play when examining personal stories and recurring themes.

He aims for straightforward conversations about what is getting in the way of the next step. Work may include setting short-term goals, testing practical approaches between sessions, and revisiting what matters most. People who are dealing with divorce, fatherhood questions, immigration concerns, or chronic feelings of isolation may find this approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows what the person says matters. This helps when someone is unsure which steps to try next or needs clarity about priorities.

Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It can help people who feel adrift after a big change or who are wrestling with what matters most in work and life.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, practical method for resolving mixed feelings about change. It works well when someone is stuck between options and wants help starting with small, achievable moves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods might fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps shape session goals and homework between meetings.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into a lunch break, cut down travel time, or make it easier to check in from wherever they are during the week. Some formats also let people choose shorter check-ins when life is busy or use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist about what practical arrangements make therapy easier to keep up with.
