Alexander Guzman, LCSW

Alexander Guzman is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, career difficulties, depression, and coping with life changes in clear, direct conversation. He greets people who are uncertain about therapy with plain explanations of what happens next. He asks practical questions and listens for what matters most to each person.

His approach starts from the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and to reflect what they say back in understandable ways. Motivational Interviewing is part of how he supports those feeling stuck about change, helping people notice options and decide on small steps.

Alexander also draws on ideas from Existential and Jungian therapy when questions about meaning, identity, or life purpose come up. These perspectives help people talk through big life questions and patterns that repeat over time. The Gottman Method informs his work with communication problems and issues that involve close relationships.

Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer decisions rather than labels or jargon. He pays attention to how stress shows up day to day and to realistic ways to reduce it. People leave with specific ideas to try between sessions.

To start, a short matching questionnaire and a first scheduled session are used to identify priorities and plan next steps. The therapist keeps language straightforward and explains options before any commitments are made.
