About Alexander
Alexander Guzman is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. He brings 20 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, depression, or big life changes. He talks plainly and makes space for each person's story.
He uses a client-centered stance that starts with listening. Sessions focus on what the client says matters most and on building from existing strengths. Motivational interviewing techniques help people find the reasons and energy to make changes that feel right for them.
Background and approach
Alexander also draws on ideas from the Gottman Method to address communication patterns and relationship dynamics that affect day-to-day life. Existential and Jungian ideas are used where people want to dig into meaning, identity, or recurring personal themes. He matches tools to the problem rather than following a single formula.
In practical terms he helps people spot unhelpful habits, improve how they relate to others, and handle transitions such as separation or career shifts. He works with issues like attachment concerns, body image, control struggles, fatherhood questions, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions are offered in English and can take place through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Alexander encourages a collaborative process where clients set goals, try approaches, and adjust as needed.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Alexander blends a client-centered approach with elements of the Gottman Method to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people use their own strengths to solve problems. It is useful for building confidence, sorting values, and finding personal direction. The Gottman-informed ideas focus on communication patterns and everyday interactions that shape close relationships. These tools help people improve how they talk about needs, manage conflict, and rebuild trust in daily life. Existential ideas are sometimes added to examine meaning, life purpose, and questions about identity if those themes come up. Finding the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time if something isn't working. The process is flexible and centered on what the client finds helpful. Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited travel. Video calls let the therapist and client see nonverbal cues; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in; live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions or for shorter conversations. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, parenting, or other daily demands.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
