About Alexander
Alexander Guzman is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career hurdles, and depression. He approaches therapy with plain talk and steady support. He respects each person's story and looks for strengths to build on.
In sessions he focuses on what matters to the person in front of him. He listens closely and follows a person-centered style so clients help set the pace.
Background and approach
He also draws on existential ideas to talk about meaning, choice, and the things that make life feel empty or overwhelming. When practical change is needed he uses motivational interviewing to help people find motivation and make steps they can sustain.
He also brings in tools from relationship work and Jungian ideas when helpful for understanding patterns and connections in a person’s life. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about goals and obstacles. Alexander helps people name what is getting in the way, test small changes, and notice what matters most.
He supports people through life transitions like career shifts, separation, immigration stress, or periods of isolation. He practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session to talk about what a person hopes to change.

Online support
Approach and options for online therapy
Alexander combines existential therapy with client-centered work to help people think about meaning, choice, and what matters most. Existential therapy looks at how values, freedom, and life purpose shape feelings like emptiness or anxiety. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's pace so people lead the direction of their work.He also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make practical changes. That method helps a person find their own reasons for change and plan small, doable steps toward goals like career shifts or improving self-esteem. Together these approaches are explored collaboratively so the therapist and client choose methods that fit the person's goals and preferences.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera helps focus. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
