About Alexei
Alexei Kasanzew is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. He brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and works with adults and couples facing relationship strain, depression, or life changes. He frames therapy as a straightforward space where people can be honest and unpolished.
Alexei emphasizes empathy and authenticity and treats each person's story as unique. Sessions aim to help people notice what feels heavy and take small steps toward relief.
Background and approach
Alexei uses evidence-based techniques within an integrative approach. That means he draws on proven strategies and adapts them to each person's needs. He focuses on practical skills for managing anxiety, improving communication, and coping with life transitions.
He also addresses concerns tied to identity and social stress, including LGBT topics and multicultural issues. He helps with commitment worries, communication problems, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Conversations often include real-world strategies for navigating these pressures.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are provided to people in Connecticut. Alexei encourages a collaborative pace - clients set goals and he helps them test what works. The aim is to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Alexei uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in ways that fit modern life. One common approach focuses on teaching practical skills to manage anxiety and mood symptoms, such as breathing and thought-management strategies that can reduce daily stress. Another approach emphasizes improving communication and relationship patterns by practicing clear expression and feedback, which helps with conflict and commitment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and what feels useful in day-to-day life. That process may include trying different strategies and adjusting them over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can fit brief updates or scheduling between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity when travel or work makes in-person visits difficult.
