Alexei Kasanzew

Alexei Kasanzew is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults and couples on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, minority-related issues, and coping with life changes. He also addresses concerns such as commitment and communication problems, family difficulties, men’s issues, midlife reevaluation, mood disorders, multicultural matters, prejudice, and questions about life purpose.

He approaches sessions from a client-centered stance and treats people as the experts on their own lives. In practice this means he listens first, asks clarifying questions, and helps people name what feels stuck. He uses evidence-based techniques and mixes approaches as needed to match what someone wants to work on.

Sessions are straightforward and practical. Alexei helps people break overwhelming problems into smaller steps. He focuses on skills that reduce immediate stress and on habits that support longer term change. Conversations often include clear strategies for improving communication and handling emotional triggers.

He works with cultural and minority stress intentionally, discussing how identity and discrimination affect mood and relationships. Alexei also supports those questioning life direction or purpose, helping them sort values and next steps without prescribing a single answer.

Alexei offers services in English and Spanish. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions

Alexei draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts that drive anxiety and low mood; these techniques teach skills for calmer thinking and clearer decision making. Behavioral strategies emphasize small, repeatable actions that reduce stress and build routines, which can help with motivation and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. The therapist and client check in together about what is working and what should change.

Confirm the exact online session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow sessions without being on camera if that helps someone focus, or permit longer discussions when a full hour is preferred. Ask about session lengths and logistics when you schedule to match therapy to your routine.
