About Alexei
Alexei Kasanzew is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with eight years of clinical experience. He helps adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life changes. He also supports people facing minority-related issues and those exploring questions around identity and men's wellbeing.
He creates a calm, straightforward space where people can bring what feels heavy without needing to have everything figured out. He centers conversations on what matters to each person and listens for practical ways to make day-to-day life easier. Sessions are built around the client’s priorities and pace.
Alexei uses an integrative approach that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He adapts methods to fit the person in front of him rather than following a single model. That means sessions can include skills practice, communication work, and problem-solving depending on goals.
He emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and respect for each person's background and story. This includes attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and issues that can follow from those experiences. He aims to help clients build clearer direction and steadier coping.
Practical work often focuses on communication problems, commitment concerns, midlife questions, and finding life purpose. The process is collaborative: Alexei supports people as they try new ways of handling stress, test different approaches, and track what helps over time.
How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy
Alexei uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in an integrative way, tailoring methods to each person. One common approach focuses on practical skill-building to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression, such as learning breathing and coping strategies and testing new behaviors. Another approach centers on communication work to improve relationship interactions, with role practice and clearer boundary setting to help repair or change patterns.Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Alexei will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. He reviews progress and adjusts methods over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut down on travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules call for them. It can also let people work without being on camera if that helps them focus. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to find the best way to meet your needs and daily routines.
